About this care
CompaNanny Ripperda II is located on the characteristic Sint Jorisveld, right in the middle of the former Ripperda Cavalry Barracks in central Haarlem. Just a few minutes' walk from Haarlem-Centraal station, our after-school care provides a safe and stimulating environment for 20 children aged 4 to 12 years.
Our BSO is part of the larger CompaNanny Ripperda complex, consisting of three locations surrounding a large green lawn. This central square serves as our outdoor space where we organize sports and play activities, allowing children to move freely and explore. Inside, we feature an open kitchen where children prepare healthy lunches and snacks together with our pedagogical staff. We regularly test new recipes and teach children about nutrition and healthy eating in a playful way.
We work with our own well-thought-out pedagogical vision that forms the basis for our mindful working method. Our pedagogical employees are carefully selected and trained to provide age-appropriate activities for each group. Younger children (4-6 years) join our Junior BSO groups, while older children (7-12 years) participate in our BSO Club. We always respond to each child's developmental stage and offer a challenging program that connects with their world of experience.
We pick up children from primary schools De Ter Cleeff, Vrije School Kleverpark, De Werkschuit and De Ark. During study days and school holidays, we are open all day, ensuring parents can always rely on us. We organize educational trips to forests, museums and playgrounds, stimulating children's natural curiosity and providing them with new experiences.
CompaNanny Ripperda II stands for playing and discovering together in a historic environment that we have carefully transformed into a modern, child-friendly after-school care facility. We provide care 52 weeks per year, with our experienced teams creating special experiences for your child every single day.Read more
