About this care
Welcome to BSO Het Paleis ‘de Mare’, the after-school care centre located right inside De Mare primary school at De Rotsduif 22 in Almelo. The moment the school bell rings, our qualified pedagogical staff take over. Children have access to the school’s excellent facilities: a large gym, a spacious indoor play area and a safe, green outdoor space where they can run, climb and explore.
Our programme is fully synchronised with the school calendar, including holidays, study days and school trips. This keeps life simple and familiar for both children and parents. We provide care for up to 33 children aged 4 to 12, organised in horizontal age groups so that children play with peers while still having room for individual development.
Physical activity is at the heart of our approach. Every day we organise games in the gym and on the playground where children can cycle, build and burn off energy. When the weather is poor, our indoor play hall offers plenty of space for active fun. Quiet corners and creative materials are also available for children who need to recharge after a busy school day.
BSO Het Paleis ‘de Mare’ is operated by KOV Het Paleis B.V., a trusted provider of childcare services in Almelo. Our team is ready to welcome your child with warmth and enthusiasm each afternoon. We invite you to visit us and see the location for yourself.Read more

Summary
Het Paleis 'de Mare' in Almelo provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 33 children aged 4–12. The inspection took place on 7 May 2025. The childcare center meets all assessed legal conditions following recovery. Key strengths include a safe pedagogical climate, permanent and qualified staff, daily outdoor play with challenging equipment, clear rules, and an active parent committee. There were two areas for improvement: a lack of concrete information about cross-location care on school-free days and how parents are informed about this. The organisation was given the opportunity to address this; the amended policy plan was approved before 5 June 2025. No violations were identified. No enforcement action is recommended. Parents can be assured that their children receive safe and developmentally focused care.
