Summary
We require carpenters to renovate and maintain wooden play equipment. Are you good at woodworking and painting and like working outside on location?Detailed description
Setting up a team.
We would like to set up a team to repair and maintain the wooden play equipment and outside furniture.
Repair:
The play equipment must be inspected on a regular basis. We would like the team to list any faults and repair or renew the play equipment themselves if possible. As play equipment is involved, you will always need to take child safety into account and work in accordance with the guidelines for the approved play equipment. The activities will take place outside school hours on the wonderful Rhijnauwen estate.
Maintenance:
The play equipment needs to be maintained to make it last longer. It also needs to be brought into a good state of repair and kept there. Tasks include sanding, filling and repairing and varnishing any cracks or holes. Other tasks include brushing or spraying things clean.
Brainstorming:
We would like you to think along with us about our approach, the purchasing of materials is also required. You will need to show plenty of initiative.
Planning:
You are free to decide how to spend your time! You can schedule the activities yourself, as long as they are outside school hours. With regard to safety when the children are playing, it is important to take playing youngsters into account during school hours. This means not leaving tools or materials lying around and ensuring that paint is dry, etc.

About Het Vogelnest
Every year, more than 4000 toddlers (groups 1 and 2) come to this special place during school trips. The bird's nest consists of a playing field with loose and fixed play objects and a large interior space with a nursery hall and storytelling loft.
Beautiful location to get out of the city, and active in the green!
The Bird's Nest is located on the Rhijnauwenselaan in Bunnik. Surrounded by natural and cultural beauty, such as the Rhijnauwen estate, the Rhijnauwen fort, the beautiful forest and estate of Amelisweerd, farm estate and market gardens.
Children can lose their egg on the climbing and scrambling houses, trees, seesaws, the slide and in the sandpit. But they also enjoy themselves with loose play materials, such as carts, bicycles, shovels, branches and straw. The playground is surrounded by a fence, so toddlers can wander between the grass and trees. There are old and new fruit trees and depending on the season you may even be able to harvest a few things. A "Willow Village" is also being built.
In short: a lot to discover!
The building has a simple kitchen, toilets, a large hall and a storytelling loft. Even in bad weather it is no problem to entertain the children indoors, because there is plenty of play material available.
Who make this play location possible?
The Bird's Nest is a foundation that works with professionals on a voluntary basis. They maintain the terrain, the play objects, the building, the contact with the schools and schedule the schedules. But they are not present on the location itself. There is no staff present. The Bird's Nest is designed in such a way that the tenants open and close the doors themselves.
All of this has been running for over 50 years. But help is needed to keep it going for the next 50 years.
