Je Beste Maatje mediates between parents and childminders for flexible, small-scale childcare in a homely environment. The bureau offers personal guidance in finding a suitable childminder and supports with all practical matters such as contracts and childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Parents can count on childminders who care for a maximum of 6 children, ensuring every child receives the attention they need. The bureau sets higher requirements for childminders than legally required and carries out inspections twice a year.

Je Beste Maatje operates nationally through a franchise formula with regional branches. The bureau has regional managers active in Utrecht, South Holland/The Hague, Nijmegen-Tiel, Maas en Peel, and Haarlem-Haarlemmermeer, among other areas. Parents can use the online childminder search tool to search by postcode for available childminders in their neighbourhood. The head office is located in Houten.

Gastouderbureau Je Beste Maatje is a childminder bureau recognised and registered by the municipality in the National Childcare and Preschool Register (LRKP). The GGD carries out annual inspections of both the bureau and the childminders regarding safety and health. The bureau itself carries out inspections at childminders' homes twice a year, with attention to safety, guidance and care. All childminders and adult family members must provide a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). The bureau works with the enhanced Reporting Code on Child Abuse and is affiliated with the Disputes Committee for complaint handling.
