About this care
Kids-Centre is located at E.P. Seidelstraat 4a in Ens, one of the largest villages in the Noordoostpolder. Our main building is situated on the edge of the forest and next to the football fields of Ens. The three primary schools in the village – De Horizon (Roman Catholic), Het Lichtschip (Christian) and De Regenboog (public) – are within walking distance, allowing us to safely pick up children after school and bring them to our after-school care facility.
We provide after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 13. Our BSO is registered in the National Childcare Register under number 209980564 and has a capacity of up to 23 children. Since 8 March 2005 we have been active in Ens and we meet all legal quality requirements set by the GGD Flevoland.
In addition to our main location on E.P. Seidelstraat, we have a second location in public primary school De Regenboog, where we offer only after-school care. At both locations, professional childcare staff provide a warm and safe environment where children can play, relax and develop after a day at school.
Our goal is to offer children an enjoyable and meaningful time after school. We provide a varied programme of activities tailored to the age and interests of the children. The location on the edge of the forest offers ample opportunities for outdoor activities and nature experiences. We work closely with parents and schools to ensure our care meets the needs of each child.Read more
