Opening hours
Our after-school care is open 4 days a week: Monday to Thursday.
On regular school days we are open on Mon, Tue and Thu from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM and on Wed from 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM.
If you would also like to have care on Fridays, you can take out an additional contract with BSO Bambini at AJ Ernststraat 663. One of the supervisors of BSO Villa Simcha will also work at BSO Bambini that day so that there will be a familiar face.

Daily food
At Villa Bambini Simcha, we eat dairy and vegetarian kosher food. We also eat fresh fruit and vegetables every day, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados, and bell peppers. In case of allergies or special dietary needs, we ask parents to bring their own produce. We'll label the child with their name and ensure they receive the correct one.
Parent Committee
The parent committee of Villa Bambini Simcha consists of 3 members and meets 3 times a year. They function as an advisory body for the daycare and the members are available for questions or complaints from parents. They can be reached via ocsimchabso @gmail.com .
To cancel
We hate to see our children and their parents go, but sometimes there is no other option. Cancellation can be done in writing or by email. The cancellation period is one month and starts on the first day of the following month.
The parent portal
Through the parent portal you can stay informed daily about what your child is doing at the daycare. Photos are placed in it by the teachers but you can also request extra days, for example.
