For parents
At Christelijk Gastouderbureau De Herberg, we find personal attention essential. Childminder care (gastouderopvang) is small-scale childcare in which a maximum of 5 children under 4 years old are cared for at the same time, which ensures plenty of personal attention for each child. Our childminders (gastouders) are pedagogically trained, qualified, and screened by us. They offer a homely environment in which children can grow up with other children, without getting lost in a large group. Research has shown that children who are cared for by a childminder feel safer and are more relaxed.
Subsidy & costs
Childminder care (gastouderopvang) through Christelijk Gastouderbureau De Herberg is an official form of childcare, which means parents are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Our childminders (gastouders) are registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang), which is a condition for receiving benefit. We guide parents in calculating and applying for childcare benefit, offer a calculation tool to determine net costs, and submit the care hours to the tax authorities on a monthly basis. Parents receive annual statements for their tax return.
The costs of childcare at De Herberg consist of two components: the childminder fee and the agency costs. Together these determine the gross hourly rate that must be declared when applying for childcare benefit from the Tax Authorities. You will receive childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) back on this gross hourly rate. We offer a calculation tool to work out how much benefit you will get back and what your final net costs per month will be. Childminder care (gastouderopvang) is generally more affordable than a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV). For care at the parents' home, we prepare a customised cost overview.
Trust & screening
Our childminders (gastouders) are carefully screened and must meet all requirements set by the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang). We ensure that childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) and keep all required documentation. We conduct personal intake and introductory conversations, carry out annual risk assessments at care locations, and arrange the necessary insurances. In addition, we organise first aid refresher courses and renew childminders' first aid certificates.
Christelijk Gastouderbureau De Herberg is a recognised and GGD-registered childminder agency (gastouderbureau) (LRK: 955688899, KvK: 51640600). We meet all quality requirements that the Childcare Act (Wet kinderopvang) sets for childminders (gastouders) and childminder agencies. The GGD carries out annual inspection investigations, the reports of which are publicly available. As a childminder agency, we have the cashier function, which means that financial flows go through us and the government has control over the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) through us.
Next steps
The process of finding a suitable childminder (gastouder) follows clear steps:

Mission & vision
Christelijk Gastouderbureau De Herberg is a childminder agency (gastouderbureau) with an eye for the individual. Our core values are personal involvement, pedagogical quality, and Christian identity. We believe that every child is valuable and unique, with their own talents and need for others in order to develop. As a Christian childminder agency, we are convinced that every person is loved by God, and we want every child to have a Christian upbringing. Our name, De Herberg (The Inn), says it all: every child is welcome with us.
Pedagogical vision
The pedagogical goal of De Herberg is for children to develop as optimally as possible, in a familiar environment and in their own way, into independent and balanced individuals who have respect for themselves and for others. We assume that every child has a need to develop, each in their own way and at their own pace, depending on aptitude and temperament. Childminders (gastouders) affiliated with us offer children a safe environment in which they are given the space to develop in every area of development.
