About this childminding agency
Gastouderbureau Mamanouk is a recognised mediation agency for small-scale childminder care (gastouderopvang) in the Rotterdam area and surroundings. We mediate and guide childcare for your child with the most suitable childminder (gastouder), so that every child can be themselves and develop in their own unique way. Our childminders not only meet legal requirements, but also our higher quality standards in terms of training and pedagogical quality. We work with a personal approach where every parent has a dedicated childminder supervisor (gastouderbegeleider) who regularly visits and evaluates the care. Our method focuses on finding the perfect match between requesting parent, child and childminder, with attention to safety, trust and personal development.

For parents
Gastouderbureau Mamanouk offers small-scale childminder care (gastouderopvang) in the homes of qualified childminders (gastouders). We ensure a personal match with a childminder who best fits your wishes and your child. Our childminders meet strict quality requirements and are regularly visited by their fixed childminder supervisor. With us, you get one fixed contact person who knows you, your family, and your child well, and whom you can always turn to with questions about the care. We also arrange replacement care when your childminder is sick or on holiday, and ensure clear and correct invoicing.
Subsidy & costs
Childminder care (gastouderopvang) with childminders from Mamanouk qualifies for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). All our childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang), which is a condition for receiving the benefit. The childcare benefit is calculated over the total of the childminder fee and agency costs. How high the percentage of benefit is depends on your income. We can help you with questions about benefits and offer the possibility to request a no-obligation quote for a personal calculation.
The costs of childminder care (gastouderopvang) at Mamanouk consist of two parts: the childminder fee (the 'salary' for the childminder) and the agency costs (for guidance and administration). For 2026, the following recommended rates apply for childminder fees: €7.60 per hour on weekdays 7:00-19:00, €8.38 per hour on weekends and evenings. Agency costs are determined based on the number of care hours per child per month. Childminders are self-employed and may deviate from the recommended rates. We offer the possibility to request a no-obligation quote for a personal cost calculation.
Trust & screening
Our childminders (gastouders) are strictly selected and checked. They must not only meet the legal requirements but also our higher standards regarding education and pedagogical quality. We screen and check during our home visits and do not rely solely on paperwork, but know our childminders personally. New childminders are first visited by a childminder supervisor who assesses whether they meet the requirements of the Childcare Act and our quality standards.
Gastouderbureau Mamanouk is a recognized mediation agency that meets all legal requirements of the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang). All our childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang), which is a condition for receiving childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). We carry out home visits to our childminders at least 4 times per year (more than legally required) and maintain regular contact. Our GGD inspection reports are publicly accessible via the National Childcare Register. We work according to the General Terms and Conditions of the Childcare Sector Organisation (Brancheorganisatie Kinderopvang).

Mission & vision
At Gastouderbureau Mamanouk, we are all mothers. From that experience, we know how vulnerable young children are. We believe that children can only grow and develop from their own unique identity and inner wisdom when they feel safe in their environment. That environment must match their needs and abilities. Every day, we are committed to finding and creating such a safe and personal childcare environment for each child.
The care of your child is not a purely business matter. After all, it is about your child, your most precious possession, who is being cared for by a childminder (gastouder). Childminder care (gastouderopvang) is (therefore) about people! From Gastouderbureau Mamanouk, we guide you, as requesting parents and as childminder, through all phases of caring for your (foster) child.
Pedagogical vision
Mamanouk stands for cheerful, sturdy, sweet, perhaps a little bit naughty, but above all strong-willed children. By strong-willed, we mean that children are wise in themselves. Every child develops at his/her own pace and in his/her own way. We believe in the wisdom that every child inherently possesses, which allows them to know what they need and what they are capable of. Through this inner wisdom, children can often indicate very well whether they have eaten enough, whether they can do something, and whether they want to learn something.
The same applies to our childminders. Every childminder has her own parenting and care style, and we believe that childminder care only truly works when the childminder can provide care in a way that suits her. There is plenty of room at Mamanouk for that unique style of each childminder and the inner wisdom of every child.
