For parents
GOB inZicht helps parents find small-scale, reliable childminder childcare (gastouderopvang) in a homely atmosphere, preferably in your own village. The agency mediates between requesting parents and carefully selected childminders who meet legal requirements and pedagogical quality standards. Parents receive personal guidance throughout the entire process: from intake interview and matching to support during the childcare period. The agency works transparently with digital hour registration and invoicing via Portabase.
Subsidy & costs
Parents can apply for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) from the Tax and Customs Administration for childminder childcare via GOB inZicht. The agency provides the necessary details for the benefit application after a successful match. The website includes a link to the Tax and Customs Administration's trial calculation tool to estimate the possible benefit. For 2026, the maximum hourly rate for childminder childcare for which benefit can be received is €8.49. GOB inZicht annually provides the childcare details of requesting parents and children to the Tax and Customs Administration for the purpose of childcare benefit.
GOB inZicht uses gross hourly rates for childminder childcare. Parents receive a monthly invoice afterwards based on the actual hours used. The minimum usage is 20 hours per child per month, although self-employed childminders may determine their own minimum usage. The agency does not work with penalty clauses or other restrictive conditions and has a notice period of one month. Invoicing is processed digitally via Portabase with payment through iDEAL. Childminders must continue to be paid during holiday (4 weeks) and illness (maximum 6 weeks with 2 waiting days).
Trust & screening
Childminders are selected in their own homes by a pedagogical consultant from GOB inZicht. During this interview, as complete a picture as possible is formed of the childminder's pedagogical qualities. Safety, hygiene, family composition and availability are assessed. Potential childminders must meet selection criteria and submit Certificates of Conduct (VOG) for themselves and all household members aged 18 and over. Childminders must be registered in the National Childcare Register and the Persons Register for Childcare.

Mission & vision

The wellbeing of the children and the wishes of parents are central, and are discussed during the intake interview. GOB inZicht works according to the core values 'Reliable, Accessible, Involved' and strives for personal attention, flexibility and quality in childminder childcare.
Pedagogical vision
GOB inZicht follows a pedagogical policy in which the unique character of each child is central. The agency works from four pedagogical basic objectives from the Childcare Act: emotional security, personal competence, social competence, and values and norms. Childminders treat children with respect and sensitivity, so that they feel safe and secure. Parents are the primary educators, while childminders share the educational responsibility during childcare. The pedagogical policy complies with the conditions of the municipal health service (GGD) and is checked annually.
