About this care
After-school care (BSO) Het Vogelnest, part of the welcoming IKC Het Vogelnest in Sint Pancras, offers a familiar and inspiring environment for children after school. We work with four after-school care groups, tailored by age:
- Boomhopper: the starter group for 4-year-olds
- Kolibrie and Grutto: for children aged 4 to 7
- Albatros: for children aged 7 and up
Each age phase brings different needs. That's why we carefully tailor our activity programme and the layout of our group rooms to the children in each group. In our specially designed spaces, children feel seen, heard and challenged at their own level.
For younger children, we offer a playful and educational programme with creative activities, games and projects. For older children, the focus is on self-expression and having a say: they contribute ideas for themes, choose activities and have access to a group room featuring relaxation areas, craft materials, gaming, cooking, baking and table football.
Children aged 8 and older can also choose to move to BSO De Torenvalk, where sporty and active challenges take centre stage. This way, they remain in an environment that suits their developmental phase and interests.
BSO Het Vogelnest is open Monday through Friday.Read more
