For parents
Gastouderbureau Pollewop devotes plenty of time to both childminders (gastouders) and parent families. The agency holds a free intake conversation at your home to get a clear picture of your wishes and situation. Based on this, they search for at least two suitable childminders for an introductory meeting. The agency stands for service and quality, with the slogan 'At home in the house' — your child should feel completely comfortable with their childminder. After the match, evaluations follow after 6 weeks and 3 months to ensure both you and your child are happy with the choice made.
Subsidy & costs
Gastouderbureau Pollewop charges no registration fees. If the agency cannot offer what you are looking for, you pay nothing. The agency costs are calculated based on your personal situation. The agreement states which portion of the amount paid goes to the childminder agency (implementation costs) and which portion goes to the childminder.
Trust & screening
Gastouderbureau Pollewop works with childminders who meet all legal requirements. The childminders hold a Certificate of Good Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag/VOG) and are registered in the Childcare Persons Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang). The agency provides at least 16 hours of guidance per childminder per year, including intake conversations, visits, training sessions and progress meetings. Childminders draw up a personal pedagogical work plan that is shared with parents during the intake conversation.

Summary
Childminder Agency Pollewop Alkmaar e.o., a branch of Pollewop Beverwijk, was inspected on 22 August 2025 by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Hollands Noorden. The agency places and guides 24 childminders for 85 children from 66 parent clients. Initially, not all conditions were met due to a shortcoming in the administration: the date of birth of childminders was missing from annual overviews. After a recovery offer with a one-week deadline, the holder resolved this issue. All other assessed components (pedagogical policy, staff, parental rights, quality criteria) met the legal requirements. The holder is transparent about costs, offers training to childminders, and conducts regular meetings and home visits. The advice to the municipality of Alkmaar is: no enforcement action.
