At Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje, we believe children should be able to learn through play in a safe and secure environment. We offer small-scale childminder care (gastouderopvang) with personal attention at its heart. Parents are assigned a fixed placement coordinator per region who guides them in finding a suitable childminder (gastouder) and assists with all questions regarding care. Our childminders are qualified, certified and receive regular further training. We also support parents with practical matters such as applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) and administrative processing.

Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje is active in various parts of the Netherlands. We provide services for childminders and parents regarding small-scale childcare in, among others, the following regions: Central and West Brabant, Southeast Brabant, North Limburg, Central Limburg, South Limburg, Drechtsteden, Gouda and surroundings, South Holland and Utrecht. Within these regions, we work in dozens of municipalities and towns.

We meet all statutory quality requirements for childcare and are supervised by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). Our childminders are inspected by the GGD at least once every 2 years and hold a Certificate of Conduct (VOG). We are affiliated with the Disputes Committee and hold 'dispute-free' certificates for all our locations. All childminder agencies are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and we work with the Tax and Customs Administration for transparent administration. We are inspected annually by the GGD on our working methods and procedures.
