About this care
De Boomhut is a small-scale after-school care facility located at Jonkerbos 260 in Zoetermeer. We provide care for school children aged 4 to 12 in a homely environment where both toddlers and school children feel at home and parents are always welcome. We focus on conscious attention to values and norms with respect for each other and the nature around us.
Our facility is housed in a building with a spacious indoor garden that offers plenty of play opportunities. Due to our small scale, we can guarantee that there are permanent staff members in the groups. This provides trust and stability for the children. Our team consists of experienced pedagogical employees who have been working in childcare for years and have the right diplomas and a certificate of good conduct.
We are flexible and can quickly respond to children's personal needs. We work efficiently without overhead and attach great importance to our parent committee. Together with parents, we ensure that De Boomhut is a place where you feel at home and where the wishes of all involved come together in harmony.
De Boomhut is registered in the national childcare register under number 748755858 for after-school care. We are open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM.Read more
