Plattekloof families looking for a preschool often widen the search to Bellville, especially when one or both parents work in the Tygervalley or Bellville area. Kido Kids is a preschool and crèche at 23 Delaire Street, Van Riebeeckshof, about 10 km by road from Plattekloof. That is a little further than your nearest option, but for many parents it lines up with the route to work, and it means choosing a school for the care it offers rather than for postcode alone.
The route from Plattekloof
Most parents coming from Plattekloof take Plattekloof Road to the N1, head east briefly, then turn off onto Jip de Jager Drive and follow Van Riebeeckshof Road to Delaire Street. Traffic on the N1 varies a lot through the day, so it is worth doing the drive once at your real drop-off time before you decide. Our Google Maps pin will give you live directions.
What to look for, and what you will find at Kido Kids
When you compare preschools, it helps to have a checklist: hours that match your job, care for your child’s age group, meals, holiday closures and a clear enrolment process. Our parent’s checklist for choosing a preschool covers the questions worth asking on any tour. Here is how Kido Kids answers the practical ones:
- Full day: 07h00–17h30, Monday to Friday
- Half day: 07h00–14h30, Monday to Friday
- Part-week options: two or three days a week
- Ages: 3 months to 5 years
- Meals: included
- Holidays: we close only for a short period over December
Age groups
Children join us from 3 months old and stay until they are 5, moving through three age-based classes:
- Babies (3–12 months): gentle routines, sensory play, music and plenty of cuddles
- Tods (1–3 years): learning through play and exploration as they build everyday skills
- Toddlers (3–5 years): activities that grow independence, creativity and school readiness
Because meals are included and we close only briefly over December, parents who work through the school holidays have one less thing to arrange.
