About this care
BSO Cruquius Op Stoom is located in the heart of Haarlem, at the intersection of Koninginnebuurt and Leidsebuurt. We are an after-school care facility specifically designed for children from the Cruquiusschool aged 4 to 12 years. Our location accommodates up to 66 children and is part of De Argonauten Op Stoom B.V., an organization with over 25 years of experience in childcare.
We are here for the children every weekday from the moment school ends until 6:30 PM. During study days and school holidays, we are open from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. In addition to after-school care, we also provide lunch care, so children can stay with us during their lunch break.
Our pedagogical approach focuses on stimulating children's development in a safe and familiar environment. We believe it's important that children can relax after a day at school, while also discovering and learning new things. We work with professional pedagogical staff who know how to motivate and guide children.
BSO Cruquius is officially registered in the National Childcare Register under number 336328801 and is regularly inspected by the GGD. Our coordinator Julia Maas is ready to assist you and provide all the information you need about our care.Read more
