Fantastic natural/green environment

Friendly helpful people who keep their ribbon village lively together. There are no shops but there is a primary school, Saturday market, well-run theatre, cafes, restaurant and many clubs for tennis and football, skating, billiards, singing, etc. Secondary school and supermarket are within cycling distance. But the best thing about Ankeveen is the wonderful nature.

Nice neighbourhood and school

The surroundings are beautiful by the water. The catamaran is a small school where all the children know each other. There is a hardworking and friendly team with a heart for the children. In Oud-Loosdrecht, a bus runs, but it doesn't run often. Hence the lower score for accessibility. Lots of restaurants in the area, and if you are a water lover, you are in the right place here!

A cosy, friendly neighbourhood where people look out for each other.

At the Catamaran, we have a small, close-knit and professional team that is open to growth and development. Team, parents and other partners work together for good education. We realise a future-proof and suitable offering for our children. The Catamaran stands for independent working and uses modern teaching methods for this. Furthermore, all children are offered English from group 1 and for group 1/2 we use the Kleuteruniversiteit.

Beautiful area, mate

I grew up here and I'll never leave. I don't want a wife or kids because it's so quiet here and I can sometimes invite a hooker and then I have what I sometimes need and no one sees it because it's a bit secluded.
