About this care
BSO de Tovertuin is located inside primary school D’n Bogerd at Brakkeveldweg 51, Den Helder. We provide after-school care for up to 12 children aged 4 to 12. After the school day ends, children step straight into a warm, home-like space where they can play, relax or join organised activities. The school gym and large playground give them plenty of room to run, climb or simply unwind.
Our educators know every child personally and tailor the programme to their needs on any given day. The afternoon starts with fruit and whole-grain crackers, followed by free choice: arts & crafts, sports and movement games, or quiet play. During holidays and teacher-training days we team up with other RivaKids locations, offering themed weeks packed with creative, sporty and outdoor activities suited to each age group.
We value time outside: nature walks and small excursions are a regular part of the programme. Structure and children’s own ideas go hand in hand, ensuring every child feels safe, seen and challenged. BSO de Tovertuin is open Monday to Friday from 14:00 to 18:00. We look forward to welcoming your child!Read more
