About this care
Welcome to De Ridderspeelzaal, our after-school care (BSO) located at Musicalstraat 22 in Almere. Since 2008, we have been providing flexible after-school care for up to 26 children aged 4 to 12. Our facility is situated in the Felserplaats business park and features a dedicated indoor climbing frame for the BSO group. We also have a spacious garden with a football cage and trampoline, where children can play and move freely after school.
Each group is led by a consistent team of qualified pedagogical staff, ensuring every child receives personal attention and support tailored to their needs. Our activities are varied and creative: we sing, dance, do arts and crafts, and regularly go on outings, such as to the petting zoo. Sports and games are also part of our weekly programme, both in our garden and during excursions.
We are proud to receive a flawless annual report from the GGD (Dutch Health and Youth Care Inspectorate). Parents appreciate our personal and direct communication. As one parent shared: "Our child always runs into De Ridderspeelzaal with a smile — a clear sign they’re having a great time."
Our BSO is open to children aged 4 to 12 and offers a safe, familiar environment after school. We operate with a standard hourly rate of €11.07 and a 40-week annual schedule. Registration is easy via our website.Read more
