Opening hours
We're opened daily from 07.45 tot 18.30 hrs. The caretakers appreciate all the children being present at 09.30 hrs so we can all start our morning at the table together. Pick up time is from 16.30 hrs onward. Of course you can be there earlier, but please let us know in advance because of possible walks outside, naps etc.
Exchanging days
Switching is no problem for us, you can do it limitless. The rules are simple: the days you would like to exchange must be two weeks apart at most and must be requested at least two workingdays before. Of course we need to have availability and suffucient caretakers. You can easily request exchanging days through the parent portal. National and jewish closingdays are nonexchangeable days.
Requesting extra days
It's possible to request extra half or full days. If we have availability and there are sufficient caretakers we will always allow for extra time. Extra days will be billed on the next invoice. Requests can be made through the parent portal but if you need to know asap you can always ask the caretakers on your group.
