BOSCO is an out of school care organisation at 71 Sandwich Road in Beckenham, Christchurch, for primary and intermediate children. It runs before school, after school and school holiday programmes, and it has been providing care since 1993. The website says it is one of Christchurch's longest-running OSCAR programmes and a not-for-profit organisation, and that it works with Beckenham Te Kura o Pūroto School. Its programmes aim to be affordable, with a variety of activities to suit all children, and children are not required to take part in any single activity.
Enrolments and first-time bookings are made through a parent portal, and the school holiday programme is booked the same way. Absence notices can be sent by text, and parents can join a closed Facebook group. Staff hold a first aid certificate renewed every two years, and have child protection training. The website says BOSCO is approved by the Ministry of Social Development, and that OSCAR subsidies apply. Open Locally lists 10 other childcare providers within a kilometre, including Woodlands Preschool Huntsbury, Kidsfirst Kindergartens Beckenham and BestStart St Martins, each 0.4 to 0.5 km away and rated 5.0 from 5 to 12 reviews.
