The Estate (BSN + Dutch Schools)

The stunning listed building was completely renovated, remodelled and modernised for childcare and is now recognised as one of the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly listed buildings in the Netherlands. With over 3000m2 of natural landscaped gardens – designed specifically for the different age ranges of the children in our care – this really is a childcare location to envy others.

The Estate location provides fully English-speaking and bilingual (English-Dutch) After School Care groups. The location is exclusively available to students from the Vlaskamp location of the British School in The Netherlands as well as students from some of the local Dutch schools in the Benoordenhout area.

Pick-up from schools

  • At the end of the school day, the British School students are picked-up by our teachers and transported to The Estate by bus (5-10 minutes drive).
  • Students from the local Dutch Schools (OBS Benoordenhout, Basisschool Paschalis, Oranje Nassauschool) are picked up by our teachers by foot at the end of the school day.
