About this care
Welcome to BSO Speelbos, our cheerful after-school care located in the De Essen school community at Oosterikweg 1 in Oldenzaal. We provide care for up to 25 children aged 4 to 7 years. Our location is spacious and features its own outdoor area where children can play and explore to their heart's content.
BSO Speelbos is part of Humankind, an organization with over 40 years of experience in childcare and child development. Our pedagogical policy is based on humanistic values: we believe in the optimal growth and flourishing of every child, with respect for people and nature. We provide a safe and stimulating environment where children can develop at their own pace.
Our after-school care is open during school weeks from Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:30. We work with a dedicated team of pedagogical staff who provide a warm welcome and varied activity program every day. After school, children can enjoy playing in our garden, engage in creative activities, or simply relax after a long school day.
