About this care
Welcome to BSO De Buitenboel, a small-scale after-school care facility in Den Ham where children aged 4 to 12 have plenty of space for play, relaxation and adventure after school. We are located at Geerdijk 36b, surrounded by beautiful green areas, and offer care for up to 21 children per day. Since January 2021, we have been known for our personal approach and homely atmosphere.
We pick up and drop off children from and to primary schools in Den Ham and Vroomshoop using certified staff and approved transport such as cargo bikes or cars, giving parents peace of mind while they work.
At De Buitenboel, we believe in the power of being outdoors. Every day we head out: to the forest, the playground or simply enjoy our own garden. This garden offers endless play opportunities: climbing, building huts and exploring nature. We regularly work with themes and offer activities such as arts and crafts, sports and games, creative projects and nature experiences. During holidays we organize extra outings and workshops, ensuring no two days are the same.
Our groups are small and manageable, allowing us to give real attention to each child. We work from a warm, familiar atmosphere where children feel safe and valued. Feel free to drop by and experience the atmosphere — we’d love to show you what BSO De Buitenboel has to offer!Read more
