Basker International - The Estate

Jozef Israëlsplein 36, 's-Gravenhage

Kinderdagverblijf Basker International - The Estate zit aan het Jozef Israëlsplein in de Benoordenhout-buurt in Den Haag en biedt Engelstalige dagopvang, voorschoolse opvang, buitenschoolse opvang en vakantiekampen aan kinderen van 0 tot 12 jaar, met plek voor 128 kinderen tot 4 jaar. Het volledig gerenoveerde pand heeft een eigen kok, een ouderkamer, een binnenspeelhal, een groot speelplein en een sportveld. De buitenschoolse opvang staat open voor kinderen van The British School in the Netherlands en drie naburige Nederlandse scholen, ook tweetalig Engels-Nederlands. Basker heette eerder Zein, en ouders zijn in reviews overwegend lovend over de betrokken leidsters, al is er ook kritiek op de communicatie rond extra opvangdagen.

Beoordelingen op Google

Kort samengevat: Ouders schrijven vrijwel allemaal in het Engels en noemen de inzet van de leerkrachten en de mooie, goed geleide locatie; ruildagen zijn volgens hen makkelijk te regelen. Daar tegenover staan twee ouders die vastliepen in de communicatie: de een kreeg geen antwoord op aanvragen voor extra opvangdagen, de ander bereikte niemand bij het aanmelden van een kind. Een deel van de beoordelingen gaat nog over de vorige naam, Zein.

"Basker (formerly Zein), is truly an exceptional daycare. The commitment of the teachers is phenomenal, they are kind, committed, and our child has really blossomed there. I recommend this daycare to any parent looking for childcare in the area"

"I am writing to express my concerns about the lack of communication regarding additional care day requests. As parents, we rely on your after-school care to support our family. Unfortunately, requests for extra days are often not approved or declined in a timely manner, and messages sent through the communication app frequently go unanswered. To make matters worse, the app itself is unreliable, making it difficult to communicate when we need assistance. We understand that the staff may be busy, but timely communication is essential so families can make alternative arrangements if necessary. I would also like to emphasize that this concern is not about the teachers. Matteo has been an exceptional teacher for our son, and we truly appreciate his dedication, kindness, and professionalism. Our complaint is solely about the communication and administrative process. I hope you can address these issues and improve communication with parents."

Dear Natalia, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that our communication regarding additional care day requests has not met your expectations. We understand how important timely responses are, and we take your concerns about response times and the communication app seriously. We will take your feedback on board as we continue to improve our communication and processes. We also appreciate your kind words about Matteo. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. ^Cherelle

"I’ve had a wonderful experience with Zein Childcare. From the very beginning, the staff were welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. The teachers take the time to get to know each child individually and create a nurturing environment where they feel safe, happy, and confident. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned — a perfect mix of play, learning, and creativity. My child has developed strong social skills and independence since joining Zein. I especially appreciate the international atmosphere and the focus on inclusion, communication, and respect. The facilities are bright, clean, and well-organized, with plenty of outdoor space for the children to explore. Communication with parents is excellent — we receive regular updates, photos, and feedback about our child’s day. Overall, Zein Childcare has exceeded our expectations. It’s clear that the entire team is passionate about what they do, and it truly feels like a second home for our child. I highly recommend Zein to any parent looking for a high-quality, caring, and inspiring childcare environment. Mother of Aayansh"

"Best experience, amazingly caring and involved teachers. My child attended the Cherries group and they exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately, we had to move from the country but my child continues to talk about her friends and teachers. We couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience and we are so thankful to the Cherries teachers and the whole Zein team!"

"Great daycare and attentive staff. I would highly recommend The Estate daycare to everyone searching for a nice place for your child. I deliver my kid there with peace of mind. Also there is a useful application where the group assistants send pictures of your child during the day, and at the end of the day you get a full report from them with all the activities, nap timing, menu of the day, etc. They do provide kids with warm and healthy food which made my choice of daycare even easier."

"While everybody is having difficult time with covid-crisis, Zein is making profit on the back of parents and of Dutch authorities ! They still ask to be paid for transportation, food and electricity costs ... although they obviously do not pay any of those fees at the moment (Zein locations all closed) and they threaten parents who complain about it. Shameful ! ******* Additional comments further to Zein response: Very interesting to see how polite Zein management is when communicating publicly on the internet and how disrespectful and threatening they are when talking to parents by private email or face to face ! They only aim at making profit on the back of children and parents (in particular, double check your invoices, throughout the year they repetitively charge extra hours and services that they do not provide)... the rest is pure hyprocrisy ! Never ever trust them !"

Good day, Ms Burgundy, we are saddened, yet surprised to hear your opinion in this way. Now that most of the dust has settled after the outbreak of COVID-19, please allow us to properly highlight the following. As communicated earlier to our parent base, we – similar to all other childcare organisations in the Netherlands – have carefully followed, and are still following, the measures of the Dutch Government, stipulated on the governmental website (Rijksoverheid) as well as on the website of SVB. With regards to the financial arrangements, we would like to once more reconfirm that full compensation is provided to all Zein families for the government instructed closure period. If any of the measures in place remain unclear, we are happy to further explain. Kindly send an email with your questions to info@zeinchildcare.nl and we will be in touch with you in person. Thank you and have a good day, Zein International Childcare

Wat de toezichthouder schreef

Kinderdagverblijf Basker International - The Estate maakt onderdeel uit van kinderopvangorganisatie Basker International Childcare B.V. De locatie is gevestigd in de Haagse wijk Benoordenhout. Basker International - The Estate is een kindercentrum met 8 groepen en biedt opvang aan maximaal 128 kinderen in de leeftijd van 0 - 4 jaar. Er wordt voornamelijk opvang geboden aan kinderen van expats. Om die reden is de voertaal op het centrum Engels. Sinds maart 2026 wordt er op 3 van de 8 stamgroepen meertalige opvang aangeboden. De locatie streeft ernaar om op alle groepen meertalige opvang te gaan bieden. Er is door de houder een gedragscode opgesteld. De locatie is geopend in 2014.

Naast het KDV is ook Buitenschoolse opvang (BSO) Club Basker International - The Estate gevestigd in hetzelfde pand. Op de BSO worden maximaal 112 kinderen opgevangen in de leeftijd van 3,5 - 12 jaar.
