About this care
BSO De Octopus is located at Octopusstraat 2 in Horssen, within the same building as Basisschool De Octopus. We provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 13 years. Our facility is open Monday through Thursday after school hours. We use two classrooms within the school building, one of which is shared with the toddler group.
We organize activities based on children's interests, encouraging them to actively participate in planning the program. We utilize our immediate surroundings through outdoor excursions and invite professionals for engaging workshops. During school holidays, children attend BSO De Appelhof in Druten.
Our partnership with Basisschool De Octopus ensures a smooth transition from school to after-school care. We collaborate closely with the school and tailor our activities to complement the children's daily experiences.Read more
