Playing in and around a centuries-old farm creates a real country feel right in the heart of Utrecht Leidsche Rijn. It’s a truly special place to chill out after school or take part in one of our cool activities.
Plenty to do at our after-school club
Our after-school care is not a continuation of school, but rather an easygoing place where children get to do the things they love best! We tailor the activities to the children’s interests and needs. We ask the older kids what they’d like to see added to the program and what kind of toys and games they’d like, and we also set some ground rules together. This combination of inclusive decision-making, peace, and structure adds to the appeal of our facility. Want to take part in a workshop? Or get busy in the studio? Or prefer to curl up in a corner with a book? Everything’s possible.
Every day is a celebration
Outdoors, they can engage in sports, take turns on the climbing equipment, or play games. During the vacation periods, we also link all kinds of activities to various themes. For instance, the “Farm life” theme includes a visit to a real petting zoo.
Our after-school care is right in the heart of Leidsche Rijn in the Terwijde neighborhood.
We pick up at the following schools:
- Katholieke basisschool Hof ter Weide (KSU)
- OBS Waterrijk
- De Ridderhof
The schools where we collect can change. Collection days and times may vary depending on the school.

Relaxation CornerOur facility has a warm and homely atmosphere. In the living area, children can relax nicely after a busy day at school. They can enjoy chilling on the couch or in the bean bags with a good book.

What I love about my role as an assistant location manager is how varied it is. Two days a week I work in the office, where I handle administrative tasks and support the site manager where needed. The other two days I work flexibly across all groups, which means I stay closely connected with the children, parents, and colleagues—and really get to know everyone at the location.
In my role as a pedagogical expert, I work together with the site manager to ensure the pedagogical quality at this location. I love being able to help all children in their different areas of development.
Frequently asked questions about our childcare
An after-school care contract relates to care after school hours. Children are collected from the school by a member of our childcare staff when the school finishes. During school vacation periods and/or study days, children are welcome at the after-school care the whole day. The same times apply here as for the daycare center: 7.30 am - 6.30 pm. This only applies to your contracted days. Should a study day fall outside your contracted days, you can consult the location manager to see whether you can request this extra day.
We offer healthy, sustainable and pure food. Snacks include cucumber, bell pepper and carrots. We also serve sandwiches, nuts, yogurt with muesli, and crackers with healthy toppings. Water and lukewarm tea are always available.
