About this care
Welcome to FreeKids, the BSO location of Stichting Kinderopvang De Plu specifically designed for children aged 9 to 13 at Rietbeemdweg 16 in Schijndel. FreeKids is a true children's paradise where kids from nearly all De Plu BSO locations come together once they turn 9. This unique concept makes FreeKids a place where children do cool things and self-reliance is central.
Our location features a cozy 'chill' room where children can relax after school. In the large kitchen, we bake and cook the most delicious dishes together, with children deciding what they want to make. The art studio provides space for creative expression, while the construction corner invites constructive play and technical challenges. For performances and presentations, we have our own stage where children can showcase their talents.
Our pedagogical staff offer varied activities daily, with children's initiative taking center stage. Whether a child chooses to participate in an activity is up to them – we respect their choice and encourage independence. Own initiative and self-reliance are core values at FreeKids. We believe children develop best when they make their own choices and learn from their experiences.
FreeKids is part of Stichting Kinderopvang De Plu, a trusted name in Schijndel and surrounding areas. With over 900 children visiting one of our locations weekly, we have extensive experience in providing safe, homely and stimulating childcare. We cordially invite you for a no-obligation introduction. You can find us at Rietbeemdweg 16 in Schijndel. For more information, please contact BSOfreekids@deplu.org or 073-7504530.Read more

Summary
BSO Free Kids in Schijndel provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 84 children aged 9–13. The inspection on 7 May 2025 concluded that the facility meets the quality requirements for pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and information provision to parents. There is a homely atmosphere, children are given considerable freedom and responsibility, and the staff are well-trained and present in the correct ratio. However, no parent committee has yet been established, which is mandatory for locations with more than 50 placed children. The location actively tries to involve parents through newsletters, surveys and conversations, but has not yet succeeded in recruiting a second parent for the committee. No violations or areas for improvement were identified beyond the absence of the parent committee. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to enforce the requirement, but to take into account the organisation's efforts to engage parents in other ways.
