In Zoetermeer there are four fixed registration periods per year. Your child's date of birth determines in which period you register. See below which period applies to your child.
Registering in the year your child turns 3
The year determines your registration period: the quarter in which your child turns 3. Below you see the 4 fixed periods and when they are open.

Tips for registering on time
Use the date calculator above to see your registration period directly. Then set up an email reminder so that you do not miss anything.
Does it matter when I register within the period?
No. For the chance of placement it does not matter whether you register on the first or the last day of the period. Do make sure you register your child before the end of the registration period.
Too late to register?
Are you too late? Then you can still register your child in the next registration period, provided the date of birth still falls within the registration year. Is your child already 4 years old? Then contact the school of your preference directly.
