About this care
Located inside the Pieter van der Plas primary-school building at Pieter van der Plasstraat 22 in Wateringen, ZON! childcare offers before-school care (VSO) for children aged 4 to 13. Every school day we open at 07:30 with a warm welcome and an optional breakfast. After that the children play together until it is time to go to class.
Our pedagogical staff create a safe and stimulating environment in which children can develop freely. We focus on three pillars: nature, culture and sport. These are reflected in our daily programme. Children are invited to share ideas and preferences during the children’s council meetings, so the activities always match what they enjoy.
In the morning we pick the children up from school by cargo bike and bring them to our spacious, green location. Outdoor play is central: we have a large garden with small animals and a vegetable patch where children learn about growth and care. We regularly organise trips to the Hofpark, the windmill, the library or swimming pool De Waterman.
Parents experience our service as committed, flexible and child-centred. We communicate openly and informally so that everyone knows how the day went. Feel free to drop by for a visit; we look forward to welcoming you!Read more

Summary
After-school care (BSO) Pieter van der Plas in Wateringen has been offering only preschool care since February 2022 to a maximum of 30 children aged 4-12 in a classroom. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 17 March 2025 concludes that the location meets the quality requirements, with one exception: the absence of a location-specific safety and health plan.
