Subsidy & costs

Additionally, you pay the childminder's hourly rate, which falls within the maximum hourly rate for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). The agency offers financial benefits through efficient administration and optimal use of childcare benefit. Invoicing is digital and childminders receive their compensation within two working days.
