About this care
Welcome to BSO De Grote Beer, located in the modern complex at Grote Beerstraat 175 in the Paddepoel district of Groningen. As part of Kidscasa, an organization that has been providing professional and committed childcare for over 30 years, we welcome children aged 4 to 12 in our cozy after-school care facility.
Our location accommodates up to 35 children and features three distinct, warmly decorated group spaces. These areas are specifically designed to give children the opportunity to relax after school, play games, or do homework in a familiar environment. Each group space has its own character and offers plenty of possibilities for both quiet and active moments.
BSO De Grote Beer is housed in a new and modern building that perfectly meets the needs of school-age children. The location is easily accessible and situated in a child-friendly neighborhood where many primary schools are located nearby. This makes it convenient for parents to drop off and pick up their children.
As part of Kidscasa, we stand for straightforward childcare where reliability, enthusiasm, and involvement are central. We provide children with a safe place where they can develop at their own pace and where they can come for relaxation and fun after a day at school.Read more
