For parents
Childminder agency BAZZ & Diana offers professional childminder (gastouder) care in a homelike setting, where you choose your own childminder. The agency matches parents with experienced childminders who meet all legal requirements of the Childcare Act. You can choose care at the childminder's home or in-home services at your own home. The agency arranges a no-obligation introductory meeting at your home to map out your wishes, then searches specifically for a childminder who best fits your family situation.
Subsidy & costs
Parents who work or study are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) from the Tax Authority. This benefit is a contribution towards costs and depends on joint income. In 2023, the maximum childcare benefit for childminder care is €6.73 per hour per child, with a higher percentage for the second child. Childminder agency BAZZ & Diana is happy to help parents with a trial calculation or application for the benefit. The agency directs parents to the Tax Authority's calculation tool for a personal estimate and informs them about developments regarding near-free childcare being prepared from 2025.
Childminder agency BAZZ & Diana uses transparent all-in rates with no hidden costs. Parents only pay for actual care hours used and no registration fee or start-up fee. The agency offers a no-obligation customised quote based on the desired care hours. Payment is processed via automatic direct debit by Gastoudercentrale, which acts as cashier in accordance with legal obligation. Parents receive a monthly invoice for care costs and agency fees.
Trust & screening

Additionally, childminders are guided in implementing protocols such as the Reporting Code for Child Abuse and Domestic Violence. The agency does not work with just anyone, but selects only experienced childminders they fully stand behind.
