For parents
Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis offers parents in Friesland the option of flexible, small-scale childminder care (gastouderopvang) for children from 10 weeks to 13 years old. Parents can choose care at the childminder's home or possibly in their own home (nanny service). A special option is the possibility to register grandpa or grandma as a recognised childminder (gastouder), so that parents can benefit from childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) while their child is cared for in a familiar setting by family. The agency provides customised matching, looking not only at practical matters but also at alignment in norms, values, and parenting philosophy.
Subsidy & costs
Parents can apply for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) with the Tax Authority because Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis is a government-recognised childminder agency. The agency fees and hourly rates are gross amounts on which benefit can be obtained. Parents can calculate and apply for their childcare benefit at www.toeslagen.nl. The agency has a cashier function, which means that payments from parents to childminders run through the agency and childcare benefit may not be transferred directly to childminders.
Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis uses transparent rates consisting of two components: an hourly rate per child and fixed agency fees per month. The hourly rate is €7.00 as a guide/recommended price, but childminders can determine their own hourly rate. The agency fees are €42.50 per month per child per childminder. Parents only pay for the number of hours used, with no minimum number of hours, and receive invoicing for actual hours directly after the end of the month. For home-based care (nanny service), a minimum rate equal to the gross minimum hourly wage applies.
Trust & screening
Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis carries out thorough screening of all childminders, including document checks of all required papers for registration in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang). The agency checks whether registration with the municipality and GGD proceeds correctly and offers support in setting up a childminder care service. In addition, childminders receive continuous guidance with at least two home visits per year, annual progress interviews, and at least 16 hours of placement and guidance per year.
Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis is a government-recognised and registered childminder agency (LRK 232661960) that is inspected annually by GGD Fryslân.

All inspection reports are publicly available via the website. The agency has a pedagogical policy, domestic violence and child abuse protocol, complaints procedure, and maintains a parent committee as legally required.

Mission & vision
The name Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis refers to the Dutch expression 'Ergens kind aan huis zijn' (to feel at home somewhere), which stands for safety, trust, security, and feeling at home. The agency strives to create a safe foundation that is necessary for optimal child development, both at home and in the care of a childminder (gastouder). Childminder care (gastouderopvang) is seen as flexible and small-scale, allowing it to meet the specific wishes of parents and children.
Pedagogical vision
