The Maples (Bomenbuurt)

At the beginning of January 2017, we opened the doors of ‘The Maples’, our stunning, purpose-built location next to the European School. Located in the Bomenbuurt area of The Hague, on the edge of the Statenkwartier and Vogelwijk, this location is open to all international and Dutch children aged 4-12 years from the surrounding areas during the holidays.

The location, which features large floor-to-ceiling windows, has been styled and furnished to the highest standards, using the same homely approach as our other locations. There’s room for three out-of-school care groups, who also get to enjoy an additional shared workshop space that can be used for all types of activities. The site also offers a fully equipped natural playground of 500m2 to the younger children, whilst the older children receive access to the playground of the European School.
