About this care
Welcome to IKC De Hofvijver, located at Forelsloot 3 in the Seghwaert district of Zoetermeer. We are an Integral Child Centre offering Junis childcare and after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 13. Our location has recently been completely renovated and expanded, allowing us to better meet the needs of children and parents in the neighbourhood.
For after-school care, we offer various forms: a breakfast club before school from 7:30 to 8:30 AM, with the option of an extended breakfast club starting at 7:00 AM. After school, we ensure that children have a pleasant and safe time, where they can play, relax and take part in fun activities. We work closely with primary school De Hofvijver, which is located on the same premises. This ensures a smooth transition between school and childcare.
Our team of pedagogical staff are ready every day to give children a warm and familiar feeling. We believe it is important that children feel at home with us and that parents can bring their child with peace of mind. We offer a homely atmosphere in which there is room for initiative and development.
As an open Christian organisation, we provide an environment in which every child is seen and valued. We stand for a safe and stimulating place where children can grow into who they are. Feel free to come by to experience the atmosphere and meet our location and team.Read more
