For parents
At Gastouderbureau Famous Kids, we believe that tailored childcare is essential. We offer personal guidance in finding a suitable childminder (gastouder) for your child. Our services include searching for a matching childminder, providing a dedicated contact person, regular visits to the childcare location, and support with all administrative and financial matters. Parents can count on a transparent and affordable fee structure with no hidden costs.
Subsidy & costs
All childminders at Famous Kids are LRKP-registered, which gives parents the opportunity to apply for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) from the Belastingdienst (Tax and Customs Administration). The agency advises parents to apply for the benefit within 3 months of starting childcare. For calculations and information, Famous Kids refers to www.toeslagen.nl or the Belastingtelefoon (0800-0543). Parents receive an annual statement of all childcare hours for submission to the Belastingdienst.
Famous Kids uses a transparent fee system: €51.00 per month per family in agency fees, regardless of the number of childcare hours. For 2 or more children, the agency fees are €65 per month per family (so €32.50 per child for 2 children). This rate includes all agency fees with no extra registration or administration costs. Parents also pay the childminder per hour at an hourly rate set by the childminder. No hour-based contract is possible for new registrations.
Trust & screening
Famous Kids carefully screens all childminders against both government and agency requirements. Screening includes verification of qualifications, childcare location, VOG (Certificate of Conduct), first aid diploma and identification. The agency carries out at least two visits per year to the childcare location and conducts the legally required annual Risk Assessment for Safety and Health. In addition, the agency periodically checks the validity of documents and provides support with further training.
Gastouderbureau Famous Kids operates in accordance with the legal quality requirements for childcare. All childminders are registered with the LRKP and hold a valid paediatric first aid certificate. The agency carries out careful screening of both the childminder and the childcare location. There is a complaints procedure and the agency is affiliated with the Geschillencommissie Kinderopvang (Childcare Disputes Committee). GGD inspection reports are publicly available on the website.
