About this care
Welcome to Monkey Donky Speelhuis at Paterswoldseweg 123 in Groningen! Since 2003, we have been providing after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 12 with great dedication and joy. Our location is situated in the De Rank building, right next to Stadspark and easily accessible via the Martiniplaza exit—perfect for parents coming from the city or surrounding neighborhoods.
Our BSO is a place where children can truly unwind after a long school day. We pick up children from multiple nearby primary schools, including De Rietzee, Meander, Aquamarijn, Vinkhuizen, Groningen Zuid, de Held, Paddepoel, and De Vlint. We believe in the importance of familiar faces, so children feel safe and can be themselves. Groups are split by age: 4 to 7 years and 8 to 13 years, ensuring activities always match the child’s developmental stage.
At Monkey Donky, playing, discovering, and growing are at the heart of everything we do. Some children relax through active play, while others need quiet time. Here, every child can be themselves. We offer a wide range of activities, from sports and games to creative workshops and nature outings. Our qualified pedagogical staff are always ready to listen and encourage children to explore new things in a safe and familiar environment.
We also take care of the practical details. Children receive a fresh, warm meal every day, along with healthy snacks and drinks. So you can be sure your child not only has a great time after school but is also well cared for. Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience the warm atmosphere at Monkey Donky Speelhuis yourself!Read more
