BSO de Vuurtoren

BSO De Vliegende Hollander is part of Kindercentrum de Vuurtoren and is located on the ground floor of primary school De Driemaster at Cortenaerpad 30 in Nijmegen. We provide small-scale after-school care for up to 20 children aged 8 to 13 years, all within a single base group. Our approach follows the “living-room model”: a homely, warm and familiar environment where children can pursue their own initiatives after school. The space is furnished with as many natural materials and calming colours as possible to create a sense of peace and security. Children can choose between different corners such as a reading nook, a craft table and a construction area, while ample outdoor play space is also available. We work closely with De Driemaster primary school, ensuring a smooth and familiar hand-over between school and after-school care. For parents this means one address, one route and one familiar face at the door. Our team consists of experienced pedagogical staff who know and guide each child personally. Together with the children we draw up an annual activity calendar that leaves room for their own input, themed weeks and relaxation. During school holidays we organise extra outings and workshops that match the group’s interests. Parents are actively involved through our joint parent committee, which represents both locations of Kindercentrum de Vuurtoren. Kindercentrum de Vuurtoren is a private organisation with two after-school care locations in Nijmegen. We are known for our neighbourhood-oriented approach and our involvement in local activities. Our door is always open to interested families; feel free to make an appointment for a tour or an introductory meeting.
