HOUSE BY THE PARK

A typical day at House by the park

Morning

The children are warmly welcomed by the supervisors starting at 07:10. Until about half of all children are present, the children play in the large playroom at the front. When the group of children becomes too large for this, the children are divided into groups. The division is done based on the age of the children. Different activities will take place for each age group.

Afternoon

At noon, most of the children take a nap. The children who do not nap play together in another room. When everyone is awake again the children will be divided into the same groups as in the morning.

On days when the weather permits, we take the children outside to play. This can be in our backyard or in the park.

From 16:00 the first children are picked up by their parents. The children who are picked up after 17:00 form a group that can play in the large playroom for the last hour. They can play here until 18:10 because then one is closing time.

When children with different languages are in one group, our supervisors speak English.

Development journal

Your child will receive his or her own diary. In it the teachers write about the development of your son or daughter. They will also note any special circumstances during care. You can also write down any wishes or changes in your child’s care in the diary. Our staff will then take this into account during the nursery visit.

Why House at the Park

We are not the only childcare in The Hague or Scheveningen, but we are unique in our concept: at least 3,4 or 5 days of childcare per week as the only one in The Hague. This ensures continuity and stability for the children.
These are the advantages if you choose us:

Beautiful location in The Hague-Scheveningen. Familiar environment, small-scale and homely. So you discover the world safely and confidently.

Natural social development: together with other children you learn through play. With us, children play outside a lot and we take many trips.

Free choice of Dutch-speaking or English-speaking groups (expat groups). Bilingual childcare has been our trademark for years, not only for expats in The Hague.

Healthy hot lunch, delicious organic food, lots of fruit.
