About this care
Welcome to Casca BSO Mambo 4+, the after-school care centre in Heemstede’s Geleerdenbuurt. Located right next to primary school De Ark at Eykmanlaan 39A, children simply cross the playground after the last bell and step straight into our bright, welcoming rooms. Soft seating corners, a large craft table and a kitchen area where we prepare healthy snacks according to the Dutch ‘Wheel of Five’ create a home-from-home atmosphere.
Our philosophy is simple: relaxation after a busy school day. Children decide for themselves whether to curl up with a book, join a football match on the school yard or head out with us to the petting farm or Groenendaal woods. Each week we explore a new theme – from Halloween crafts to a mini-musical – often inviting local experts such as a real baker or firefighter. During holidays we expand the programme with daily creative and sporty outings, turning every break into a true celebration.
A stable team of professional pedagogical staff knows every child and parent personally. We share photos and messages through the Parent App and parents can swap or book extra days via the online portal. Regular opening hours run until 18:00, with extended care available until 18:30. Every year we survey parents and immediately incorporate their feedback into our policies. This keeps BSO Mambo 4+ the warm, trusted place where children can simply be themselves and parents can leave their child with complete peace of mind.Read more
