With Bloei (Bloom), we have created a beautiful boutique, complete with dressing room where moms can browse and borrow maternity and breastfeeding clothes!
Members can pick up their reserved items by appointment and return borrowed items during play & meeting times on Wednesdays at WGC The Point or on Fridays and Saturdays at Bloom.
And, of course, donations of quality items are always welcome
Welcome!
Our goal is to give every family the opportunity to flourish and thrive! With (play)cafe Thrive, we want to give your children all the space they need to play, while also giving you a chance to connect with other parents.
We have a limited number of places available and once we reach that limit, we won't be able to accommodate you. Therefore, reservations are not required, but they are the best way to avoid disappointment. Thank you for your understanding
The clothing exchange room in Gentbrugge is a proven success! After several clothing exchange events, we took it a step further and opened a (semi) permanent location in our temporary location that was open two afternoons a week. We are now certain that this should be a lasting addition in our city and are working to move the Clothing Exchange Room to a location where we can stay longer.
The Clothing Exchange Room will remain closed in April to move but we still need your help to make this happen - let us know if you can help fold and sort clothes!
