For parents
Gastouderbureau Pollewop offers personal childminder (gastouder) care with finding the right match for your child at its heart. We come to your home for a free intake interview to get to know your wishes and needs. Based on this, we search for at least two suitable childminders for an introduction. After the match, we hold evaluation interviews after 6 weeks and 3 months to ensure the care meets your expectations. Our pedagogical professional observes your child annually and prepares development reports, and when transitioning to primary school you receive a transfer portfolio.
Subsidy & costs
Gastouderbureau Pollewop charges no registration fees. If the bureau cannot offer what you are looking for, you pay nothing. The bureau costs are calculated based on your personal situation. The bureau also works with self-employed childminders who may offer their own contracts and terms, which is discussed with you in detail.
Trust & screening
Gastouderbureau Pollewop works with childminders who have created personal pedagogical work plans. These work plans give parents a direct picture of the childminder during the intake interview. The childminders are supported in every possible way during the start-up phase. The bureau has a pedagogical professional, Danielle Kerkhoff, who observes children annually and prepares development reports for children receiving care for at least two days per week. These observations and reports are discussed with parents annually.
Gastouderbureau Pollewop meets all statutory quality requirements and is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) under number 904670612. The bureau has had an active parent committee since 2008 with statutory advisory authority on pedagogical policy, quality policy, complaints procedures and price changes. All GGD inspection reports are publicly available via the national register. The national government sets quality requirements for childminder bureaus regarding parental involvement, staff, pedagogical policy, complaints, safety and health — all of which Pollewop meets.
