A unique approach to childcare

Foundations to thrive

At Basker International Childcare, we believe in the unique benefits that growing up in an international environment brings to children. For us, everything begins with understanding: who are you, what is your story, and how do you see the world? In a safe, homely environment, we enhance the benefits of a group setting alongside individual attention, offer organic warm meals, and follow a family-oriented approach. This, combined with our modern pedagogic approach, helps children grow in curiosity and confidence every day. Creating the foundations to thrive - wherever life may take them.

A modern approach to pedagogy

It’s our ambition to set the standard in international childcare. We support children in their growth and development as they learn about themselves, about others, and about the world around them. Our approach combines years of experience working with international children with the latest pedagogical insights.

What our name stands for

The name Basker is inspired by the English verb ‘to bask’. It is often translated as ‘enjoying’, but it means so much more than that. It's about a warm, safe environment where you feel seen and at home. Imagine a child sitting in the sunshine. Relaxed and with an open gaze. Curious about what's to come. But 'basking' is also about being proud of who you are and daring to take your place in the world. That is what we want to give children at Basker: the space to play, to develop, to enjoy - and to discover the world with confidence.
