About this care
Hi, my name is Ben! At BSO De Apenkooi we turn every day into a celebration. We ensure that all children feel safe and at ease, and that every child arrives and leaves with a smile.
Our location is situated at Het Geleer 33 in Heeswijk-Dinther, on the same premises as primary school De Bolderik. We work closely with the school, allowing children to come straight to our after-school care when classes finish. We have a cosy BSO room, our own gym for sports & games, and a fantastic large ‘Green’ outdoor playground with a full-size sports field.
Our pedagogical staff are ready every day to provide children with a warm environment in which they can continue to develop. We operate two vertical base groups where children of different ages play and learn together. Our activities range from sports and games in the gym to arts & crafts, cooking or a fun board game in the BSO room. Anything goes, nothing is mandatory!
We are open Monday to Friday after school until 18:30. During school holidays we offer holiday care so parents can rely on us all year round. We are proud of our excellent GGD ratings, which you can find in the National Childcare Register under registration number 635310156.Read more
