Kinderopvang 't Kasteel (Childcare Castle), Leiden

At the Childcare Castle (Kinderopvang 't Kasteel) every day feels like an adventure in a magical castle! Here, Chancellor Mister Amos welcomes children with open arms, ready to introduce them to the joys of play and discovery. While a chancellor might typically motivate troops, the young "troops" at this castle need no encouragement-they instinctively jump, play, sing, dance, and explore with boundless energy.

The experience at the Castle is truly unique. The staff goes above and beyond, dressing in authentic 17th-century-inspired attire, complete with long dresses and plastic swords, to immerse children in a whimsical and joyful atmosphere. This delightful attention to detail leaves kids enchanted and often reluctant to leave their "castle."

Founded in 2002 by parents, Childcare Castle offers both a childminder agency and an after-school care center, accommodating up to 140 children aged 4 to 13 across three branches and four groups. The facility prioritizes creating a cozy, homely atmosphere with plenty of outdoor space where children can freely express themselves and just be kids.

Nestled in the historic city of Leiden, Childcare Castle takes inspiration from its cultural surroundings, blending history and imagination into its offerings. It’s not just a childcare center; it’s a magical space where children’s happiness and growth take center stage. For parents and their little ones, the Childcare Castle is a place that turns ordinary afternoons into extraordinary adventures.
