For parents
Gastouderbureau Betsie offers parents small-scale, trusted childminding (gastouderopvang) with personal attention at its heart. We provide free mediation between parents seeking care and approximately 130 childminders (gastouders) in Noord-Brabant, Limburg, and Gelderland. Our childminders (gastouders) work in a homely environment, providing calm and individual attention for every child.
We support parents throughout the entire care arrangement: from finding a suitable childminder (gastouder) to assistance with applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Parents can count on transparent communication, short lines of communication, and personal contact. There are no hidden costs or penalty clauses, and parents can request a no-obligation cost calculation to see their personal expenses.
Subsidy & costs
Gastouderbureau Betsie supports parents with applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Parents can have a large portion of their childcare costs reimbursed through this allowance from the Tax Authority. We offer guides and personal support with applying for and changing the allowance.
Parents receive an annual statement each year with which they can account for the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). We are happy to provide a no-obligation cost calculation to show what the net costs are after deduction of the allowance. Conditions for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) include that parents are working, studying, or following a trajectory towards work.
Childminding (gastouderopvang) at Gastouderbureau Betsie is often the most affordable form of childcare. The monthly costs are calculated as: Agency costs + (Childminder fee × Hours). There are no registration fees and the notice period is one month.
On average, the hourly rate for the childminder (gastouder) comes to approximately €7.50-€7.80 per hour for care at the childminder's (gastouder's) home. For childminding (gastouder) at the parent's home, at least the statutory minimum wage applies. Agency costs depend on the number of children and where the care takes place. Parents can request a no-obligation personal calculation to see the net monthly costs after childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).

Mission & vision
Gastouderbureau Betsie aims to provide children with an environment that meets their basic needs for safety and security, and contributes to their optimal development. Personal attention, a positive approach, and encouragement at the right moment ensure that children grow into independent individuals with a healthy sense of self-worth.
Childcare is a matter of trust. Parents need the assurance that their child will enjoy safe care and responsible upbringing even in their absence. Our pedagogical policy plan, approved by the GGD (Municipal Health Service), forms the basis for high-quality care and open dialogue between parents and childminders (gastouders).
Pedagogical vision
Our pedagogical policy plan, approved by the GGD, describes the competencies required by law and forms the basis for high-quality childminding (gastouderopvang). The plan encourages reflection on the goals and methods of supplementary family-based upbringing and shows parents what they can count on when they entrust their child to a childminder (gastouder).
The pedagogical policy plan ensures that parents can hold the childminder (gastouder) accountable for her commitments and provides a good starting point for mutual conversation. All childminders (gastouders) have completed pedagogical training, which is one of the quality requirements the government sets for childminders (gastouders).
