Mimine BSO
Mindful • Sustainable • Modern
Welcome to Mimine BSO, where after-school care becomes an extension of calmness, creativity, and kindness. Located in the heart of Enkhuizen, inside our well-loved bakery and play café, Mimine BSO offers a cozy, inspiring space for children to unwind, explore, and feel at home.
Opening August 25th 2025, our afternoons will be fully dedicated to our BSO children, offering care for up to 15 children per day, ages 4 to 10.
Our Vision
We created Mimine BSO to offer something different, a modern BSO that reflects the values Mimine is built on:
-
Mindfulness & emotional safety
-
Sustainability
-
Authenticity & creativity
-
Community & connection
Children at Mimine BSO are not rushed or over-scheduled. Instead, they are seen, heard, and free to choose how they spend their afternoon, through role play, cozy corners, creative activities, or simply relaxing after school.
Know what happens after school.
At Mimine BSO, parents receive a daily short update: what your child ate, drank, played and how they felt.
A BSO created by a mom, for moms... because we know how important the little things are.

Meet Nikki, a pedagogical talent with a warm heart
Nikki is a passionate and dedicated team member at Mimine BSO, currently studying Pedagogical Sciences at the University of Amsterdam.
With hands-on experience in childcare and a natural connection with children, Nikki brings warmth, structure, and creativity to every interaction. Her background includes working at Kinderopvang Berend Botje, guiding youth in sports, and supporting children from diverse backgrounds, including those in asylum centers.
Inspired by the way children see the world, Nikki is committed to nurturing their emotional and personal development in a safe, respectful, and joyful environment.
Our Pedagogical Approach
At Mimine BSO, we believe in:
Freedom within structure: Children are free to choose how they engage, within a calm and guided rhythm that supports both independence and security.
Emotional development: Each afternoon begins with our Mimine Moment: a cozy table gathering where we share a snack and check in “What was a good part of your day? What was a hard moment?”
We also integrate mindfulness, calm transitions, emotion cards, and gentle practices like kid yoga to support emotional awareness.
Sustainable creativity: Our activities use natural and upcycled materials, encourage imagination, and include baking, outdoor play, gardening, and sensory crafting.
Respect for individuality: Every child is welcomed exactly as they are. There’s no pressure to perform, just space to explore, recharge, and be.
Our team is made up of trained pedagogical professionals who embrace mindfulness, sustainability, and emotional intelligence — all woven naturally into the rhythm of each afternoon.
Snacks
We serve organic, homemade snacks and drinks prepared with care, including fresh fruit, veggies, crackers, cheese, and water, milk or herbal tea.
Lunch is not provided, except during special booked activities.
Who We Are For
We care for children ages 4–10 during school days, with a maximum of 15 children per day. We currently offer pickup from 2 local schools these will be confirmed and announced shortly. Children from other schools can also be dropped off.
