Out-of-school care

Ziezo

Address

Laapersboog 9

1213 VC Hilversum

Ziezo is, just like bso Binkies, an out-of-school care location for children attending a special needs primary school. Characteristic of this out-of-school care location (bso-intensive) is that the children are cared for in a small group. Much the same as in their primary school environment, they are offered to participate in clear and structured activities.

Bso-i Ziezo is open on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. On Fridays the children are welcome at bso-i Binkies. In holidays and study days Ziezo is opened from 8:30-18:00.

Extra personal attention for every child

Out-of-school care Ziezo has one appointed group for children between the ages of 4 to 14. Due to its small size and fewer number of children, we are able to provide each child with extra personal attention. Two pedagogical staff members are present on a daily basis to care for a maximum of 10 children. Children receive specialist guidance at Ziezo: some of our staff members are college educated (hbo).

Plenty of room to play for children of all ages

The set-up of the group is especially designed to entice all children to play. There are designated, separate areas for building with blocks and for creating with arts and crafts. There is also a special area with computers as well as a lounge area where children can read a book or listen to music. Even if the weather is bad, children can still have a great time playing in the gym, the playroom and every day we use the hall that is adjacent to the group room, where we can also do activities or sit quietly for a while.

Large outdoor play area

After school, children can play on the playgrounds of the Annie M.G. Schmidt School. We mainly use the backyard where we can run, steppe, climb and clamber and do activities in the football cage. The children will feel at ease as they will already be familiar with these playgrounds. 

Structured activities presented with pictograms

When the children get out of school, they are first able to play freely, indoors or outdoors. Afterwards, staff and children enjoy a snack together and go over their day, with the help of pictograms. Pictograms are cards depicting a picture or symbol. Children are offered to participate in two different activities each day. The activities may sometimes be age-related, but are mostly suited for children of all ages. They are offered to play or participate in sports activities every day. 

Smaller groups allow more time for genuine connections with children and parents. You get to know them better, making it easier to tailor the guidance to their home situation. Bart - Pedagogical Worker

Frequently asked questions

When can I register my child for out-of-school-care?

You can register your child for out-of-school school care from the moment your child is 3 years old and your (provisional) choice of school is known. Your choice of school is important because each school is linked to one of out-of-school care facilities. If your choice of school (or your preferred childcare days) changes, please let us know as soon as possible.

When will I know if there is a place for my child?

As soon as we have a place for your child, we will let you know. For the after-school centre, we aim to plan six months ahead. From that point on, we continue to look for possibilities each month. If you don’t hear from us, unfortunately, we don’t have a spot available yet.

Holidays, exchange days and requests for extra days

During school holidays, your child is automatically scheduled on his or her regular childcare days. If you have holiday plans or a day trip scheduled, please report your child’s absence as early as possible via the Parent App.

Exchanging days is an additional service provided by Bink, which we only offer during school weeks. Group size, group composition and the number of available pedagogical staff must allow it. The childcare location decides whether an exchange day is possible. Exchanging days is not possible during school holidays.

If you want to exchange a day, you must first submit an absence notification via the Parent App.

In the Parent App (under the Locatie section), you will find a detailed explanation of the options and conditions for exchanging days and requesting extra days for out-of-school care.
