About this childminding agency
Christelijk Gastouderbureau Het Mosterdzaadje is a childminder agency (gastouderbureau) based in Nunspeet that facilitates Christian childminder care (gastouderopvang) for parents in the Veluwe region and surrounding areas. The agency provides reliable childcare in a safe, loving environment with childminders (gastouders) who share a Christian faith. Parents receive personal guidance in finding a suitable childminder who matches their wishes and identity.
The agency follows a careful matching procedure where prospective parents and childminders get to know each other extensively under the guidance of a staff member. Annual GGD inspections and registration in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) guarantee quality. The service area covers towns in Gelderland and Overijssel such as Apeldoorn, Harderwijk, Zwolle, Nijkerk, Kampen, and Putten.

For parents
At Christelijk Gastouderbureau Het Mosterdzaadje, we believe it is important that you find a childminder (gastouder) who matches your wishes and Christian identity. Your child will receive small-scale care with one consistent caregiver in a homely environment. The care days and hours can be tailored to your needs, and the childminder is personally involved in the care.
You will receive childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) for part of the costs. The advantage of a Christian childminder agency is that your child will be placed with a host family where life is lived according to Christian norms and values. We are involved with parents and you can always come to us with your wishes, questions or comments.
Subsidy & costs
Parents receive childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) for the total hourly rate of the childminding. You can apply for this benefit yourself from the Tax and Customs Administration. The agency advises parents to request a trial calculation to make the costs for their care situation clear, including an indication of the amount of childcare benefit and the own contribution. The website refers to toeslagen.nl and the Tax and Customs Administration for trial calculations.
The total costs for childminding consist of two parts: the fee for the childminder and the agency costs. The childminder determines her own hourly rate (from 2026 at least €7.00 per hour per child during the day, €7.50 for evening/weekend). Different rates apply for care at the parents' home (minimum wage).
Agency costs consist of a fixed monthly amount per child (€25 for one child, €20 for two, €15 for three, €12 for four or more) plus €1.00 per care hour per child, with a maximum of €190 per family per month. There are NO registration fees or costs for finding a childminder. An expense allowance for food and drink may possibly be charged.
Trust & screening
Childminders are carefully screened before they are registered. Specific requirements are set for childminders and both the agency and the GGD check whether childminders meet these requirements, both beforehand and during the care provision. Childminders who meet all requirements are registered in the National Childcare Register. The agency places great value on the motivation of childminders - it is important that childminders have a heart for children and care for them with enthusiasm.
Christelijk Gastouderbureau Het Mosterdzaadje is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK number: 336202635) and meets all legal requirements. The agency is inspected annually by GGD Noord- en Oost-Gelderland and receives positive inspection reports. Childminders are carefully screened and must meet specific requirements before they are registered. The agency places great value on the motivation of childminders and their heart for children.

Mission & vision
As a childminder agency (gastouderbureau), we want to make reliable childcare possible in a safe and loving environment. We see the childminder (gastouder) and childminding as an extension of the parents and the upbringing the child receives at home. A childminder will guide, motivate and stimulate a child in their development in a homely environment with one consistent, loving person. This creates a sense of safety and security for the child. A childminder is a 'partner in parenting'; collaboration and consultation with parents is therefore important.
Pedagogical vision
The pedagogical policy of Christelijk Gastouderbureau Het Mosterdzaadje focuses on four core areas: emotional security, personal development, social development and the transfer of values and norms. The childminder provides a safe environment where the child can be themselves and develop. Children are given space to discover things for themselves and to practice with challenging toys that match their interests.
Social interaction is guided so that children learn respect, patience and understanding for one another. As a role model, the childminder provides clarity on boundaries and rules with explanation. Within the Christian identity, norms and values are passed on through faith, with prayer, Bible reading and Christian songs.
