About this care
Welcome to BSO Merlijn, located at Groene Hil 20 in the Haagse Beemden district of Breda. As part of Kober childcare, we have been offering a trusted place for children aged 4 to 12 for many years. We work closely with primary school De Groene Hil: we are allowed to use their gym and technology room, share materials and consult on a weekly basis. This ensures a seamless transition between school and after-school care.
Our spacious, bright group rooms are designed according to Kober’s pedagogical policy: challenging corners for crafts and building, a cosy lounge to relax, a table-football table and plenty of room to do homework quietly. In addition, we have two outdoor playgrounds where children can run around, play football or simply enjoy being outside. During the holidays we join forces with the Sterke Wijk: together with all Kober BSOs in Haagse Beemden we organise sports tournaments, ice-skating, baking workshops, live board games and even a summer camp. By pooling our resources there is always something special to experience.
Parents receive a daily message with a photo or a short report via the Parent App, so you can still catch a glimpse of your child’s day. We look forward to welcoming your child at BSO Merlijn!Read more
