For parents
Childminder Agency Goedteplak matches parents seeking childcare with childminders (gastouders) who want to provide care in South-East Friesland. The agency ensures careful matching, monitors the quality and safety of care, and handles the financial administration. Parents can count on personal attention, clear agreements and the assurance that all childminders are registered and regularly inspected by the GGD. Care takes place in the childminder's home or in the parent's home.
Subsidy & costs
Parents who arrange care through Goedteplak may be eligible for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag/KOT), a government contribution. Whether you are entitled to benefit depends on joint income, the number of hours parents work and earned income. Non-working parents who are studying or following a (re)integration programme may also be entitled to benefit. In 2023, the maximum childcare benefit amount was €6.85 per hour per child (income-dependent). More information and trial calculations are available on the website of the Belastingdienst.
The agency fees of Goedteplak for 2023 are €0.75 per hour for children aged 0-4 and €1.00 per hour for children aged 4-12. There is a cap on agency fees for parents who use many hours per month. The childminder's hourly rate is set in consultation, with an average of €5.75 per hour per child. Any expense allowances (such as meal allowance) are also determined in consultation. Goedteplak does not charge a minimum number of hours. For an exact price quote, parents can contact the agency.
Trust & screening
All childminders at Goedteplak are registered in the National Childcare Register. Before a childminder starts, a Risk Inventory for Safety and Health is carried out by a Goedteplak employee, with a corresponding Action Plan for improvements. This inventory is repeated annually. Childminders must meet all legal requirements, including at least an MBO diploma in care/helping at level 2 and a valid registered Certificate of Conduct (VOG). The GGD checks childminders on a random basis.

Next steps
The matching process at Goedteplak is careful and personal:
- First, an intake interview takes place between the requesting parents and the childminder agency to map out wishes and possibilities.
- A suitable childminder is then sought, or parents can register a childminder with the agency themselves.
- A matching meeting is scheduled at the care address with the requesting parents, childminder and placement coordinator.
- During this meeting, parents and childminder get to know each other, wishes are discussed and a look around can be taken.
- There is the possibility of a trial visit where the child can get used to the childminder.
- After the meeting, agreements are drawn up and signed by all parties.
