About this care
Welcome to BSO ZieZaZo Harmelen, our after-school care located at De Uithof 1 in Harmelen. Set in a green area right next to swimming pool H2O and close to primary schools De Fontein, De Notenbalk, De Horizon and De Bavo, our spacious building offers bright rooms. We deliberately keep the after-school groups small so every child has space to play and unwind after a busy school day.
Adventures are part of the routine: we walk to the playground or head out by cargo bike – the ride itself is already a treat. Yet children never get bored on our own grounds either: a huge outdoor area with a grass field for rolling or football, a paved road for cycling, stunt scooters with their own course, and much more. The garden opens straight from the rooms, so children move freely in and out.
Besides small groups and calm, we stand out through surprising toys that we regularly refresh. We keep learning too: two pedagogical coaches on site support and ‘train on the job’ our staff, ensuring high and personal quality.
We provide both before-school care (VSO) and after-school care (BSO). In the morning breakfast is ready from 7:30 am until school starts; in the afternoon we pick the children up and they can choose to join an activity or simply relax. During holidays we are open from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm and organise plenty of trips and sporty clinics at sports hall De Kroon.
A unique extra: thanks to our location next to swimming pool H2O, children can combine swimming lessons with BSO. We drop off and pick up until 4:30 pm, saving parents the trip. In short, BSO ZieZaZo Harmelen is a warm, clear place where children quickly feel at home and love to come.Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced annual inspection at after-school care (BSO) ZieZaZo in Harmelen on 6 March 2026.

The location has shown positive development following earlier shortcomings in 2023 and 2024, which included issues with administration, the personnel register, and the absence of a parent committee.
