To register

If you would like to join our waitlist, please follow the instructions here. It can take around 12-18+ months for a space to become available so I recommend joining the waitlist as soon as possible. Then I can contact you when there is a space. These wait times are estimates and can change per course. Lately I have been receiving an increasing number of applications so my apologies for the long wait. It’s worth it!


Additional information

  • Once there is a space in a class for you, you will sign up for a specific day and attend on this day once a week for 2 hours. Each child is to be accompanied by one adult/carer. Twins or siblings may come with one adult/carer.
  • All sessions are offered in English–circle time each session includes Dutch and English songs.
  • Dutch and other non-English speaking children are very welcome–a great opportunity for your child to be introduced to English. Simone also speaks Dutch but uses her mother language with the children.
  • There are 12-14 toddlers per group.
  • It is requested that older siblings do not attend class. Younger siblings may come along but pay for a space once they are 12 months old.
  • If your child is sick or you are unable to attend, you may book in for a make-up class. Only one make-up class is allowed per child per term.
  • Cancellations within 2 weeks of the beginning of the course are non-refundable. If you cancel before this time, a cancellation fee of €25 will be charged to cover administration costs.
