About this childminding agency
Childminder agency De Bieënkorf matches parents seeking childcare with childminders (gastouders) offering care in the Wijhe and Olst region. Childminder care (gastouderopvang) is the most flexible form of childcare and is ideally suited for parents with irregular schedules. The agency arranges care for children from 0 to 13 years with childminders, both at the childminder's home and at the parents' home. Parents can count on personal guidance in finding a suitable childminder, support with applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), and professional mediation for any questions or issues. The childminder agency works with skilled childminders who regularly attend refresher courses and ensures safety and hygiene through careful annual risk assessments.

For parents
Are you looking for childminder (gastouder) care for your children? Our placement coordinator can help you with a no-obligation home visit. During this conversation, various topics will be discussed: procedure, possibilities, your wishes, costs, and childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). The childminder agency offers support with applying for childcare benefit, sends annual statements to the Tax and Customs Administration, informs you about developments in regulations, and mediates in questions and problems. We also think along with you about possibilities for holiday care and replacement in case of childminder illness.
Subsidy & costs
For most parents, financing takes place through childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). The childminder agency supports the application for childcare benefit and sends the annual statements to the Tax and Customs Administration, so parents do not need to take any action themselves. For families who do not qualify for childcare benefit, there is a special arrangement via the municipality of Olst-Wijhe. The LRK number of the childminder agency (199759480) is required for the benefit application. Parents can request a no-obligation calculation of gross/net costs.
Rates are available on the website under 'Tarieven 2025' and 'Tarieven 2026'. The childminder agency offers a no-obligation calculation of gross/net costs. Invoices are collected on the 15th of the month, while childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) is already paid out on the 20th of the previous month. For care costs with a childminder (gastouder), the invoice is collected even one month later, meaning parents receive childcare benefit 2 months before payment.
Trust & screening
Childminders are carefully screened and supervised. The agency carries out annual risk inventories (RIE) at childminders to ensure safety and hygiene. Childminders must hold a Children's First Aid certificate. In addition, childminders receive one of the agency's protocols every month and are kept informed of the latest developments. During the annual progress interview, the childminder's development needs are identified and the agency offers a mandatory workshop/training annually.
The childminder agency works with LRK number 199759480 for the application of childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). We hold a Disputes Committee GOB — Complaint-Free 2025 certificate. Childminders hold a Children's First Aid certificate and the agency carries out annual risk inventories (RIE) at childminders to ensure safety and hygiene. GGD inspection reports are available in the parent portal. The agency has a complaints procedure and works according to the protocol on 'child abuse and transgressive behaviour'.

Mission & vision
De Bieënkorf is a play and development centre for children up to 13 years old. It is the garden where we grow, supporting every child to discover themselves — together with others! At De Bieënkorf, we take children by the hand in their discoveries, their world of experience, and their sense of wonder. They are given the space — literally and figuratively — to make mistakes. Because it is precisely through falling and getting back up that you move forward and grow! We believe in children's ability to learn from one another, under the guidance of childcare professionals.
Pedagogical vision
Our pedagogical vision is based on three pedagogues: Malaguzzi, Vygotsky, and Korczak. We work from three layers of educators who support the child in their growth: children learn from peers (1st educator), adults provide a learning environment and set the example (2nd educator), and the space and materials must be challenging and stimulate the imagination (3rd educator). We focus on four core pedagogical goals: providing emotional security, promoting personal competencies, promoting social competencies, and transferring norms and values. 21st-century skills are important goals in our guidance.
