For parents
At Gastouderbureau De Bult, we help you find a suitable childminder (gastouder) for your child. We mediate between parents seeking care and childminders in Urk and the surrounding area. Our bureau offers personal guidance, transparent communication through an online parent portal, and support with administrative processing. We look at your specific family situation and wishes to find the right match.
Subsidy & costs
Parents can apply for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) through the Tax and Customs Administration for childminder care. Gastouderbureau De Bult refers parents to the Tax Administration's trial calculation tool to get an indication of the benefit they will receive. The bureau advises parents to apply for the benefit themselves and offers support with questions about administrative processing.
The costs for childminder care consist of the childminder's hourly rate and the mediation fees of the childminder bureau. The recommended rate for childminders is €8.00 per hour, though childminders may set their own rate. The mediation costs for Gastouderbureau De Bult are €45.00 per family per month for one child. A small contract is possible for fewer than 25 childcare hours per month.
Trust & screening
All childminders are registered and linked by Gastouderbureau De Bult in the Childcare Persons Register (PRK). Childminders must have a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). The bureau conducts progress meetings at the childcare location and guides childminders in completing educational work plans. Additionally, childminders are screened through the required registration procedures and regular evaluations.
Gastouderbureau De Bult has been registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) since March 2011 and falls under the supervision of GGD Flevoland. The bureau is inspected annually and meets all legal requirements. Inspection reports are publicly available on the website.

Summary
Childminder agency de Bult in Urk was inspected on 29 September 2026 by GGD Flevoland for the annual review. The agency mediates between 113 childminders and over 200 parent clients in Urk and surrounding areas. Following a recovery offer, the childminder agency (gastouderbureau/GOB) meets all assessed requirements. There were two shortcomings: an outdated complaints procedure that did not inform parents about the Disputes Committee, and unequal screen use at one childminder. Both were resolved during the inspection visit. The agency provides good guidance with sufficient hours, home visits, training, and an active parent committee. New quality requirements for continuous professional development and pedagogical coaching are still being rolled out.
