For parents
Childminder agency (gastouderbureau) 't Vlindertje helps parents find suitable childminder care (gastouderopvang) for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. The agency mediates between parents and carefully selected childminders (gastouders) in the region. Parents receive personal guidance throughout the entire process, from intake to matching and beyond. Small-scale settings, a homely atmosphere and flexibility are central to the care provided.
Subsidy & costs
The costs consist of two parts: the childminder rate and agency fees. Childminders set their own hourly rate, on average between €6.00 and €7.00 per hour. For care at the requesting parent's home, fixed rates apply: €15.20 per hour for 1-2 children, €16.50 for 3-4 children (including 8% holiday allowance). Agency fees are €1.00 per hour per child with monthly minimum and maximum amounts: first child €40-€92, second child €32-€69, third child €24 per month. A maximum of 3 children per family pay agency fees.
Trust & screening
Childminders (gastouders) are carefully selected and must meet legal requirements such as a minimum age of 18 and a relevant MBO-2 diploma. The agency conducts personal intake interviews at childminders' homes, assesses the living situation, and carries out twice-yearly scheduled home visits plus one unannounced visit. During home visits, risk assessments are conducted and care quality is evaluated. Childminders have access to first aid refresher evenings and themed evenings for further training.
The agency is recognised and registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) under number 755893530, with GGD inspections and a public inspection report. It meets all legal requirements including intake interviews, administrative processing, pedagogical policy plan, child abuse protocol, home visits, parent committee, risk assessment and complaints procedure. There is an internal complaints procedure and access to an independent disputes committee for unresolved complaints.
Next steps
The mediation process follows six structured steps:
- Intake: Personal conversation at the parent's and childminder's home to discuss wishes and situation
- Introduction: Parent and childminder meet, possibly with a mediation worker present
- Matching: Three-way meeting at the care location with agreements recorded in a contract
- Trial period: Six weeks of care with interim contact and evaluation
- Payment: Monthly hour registration via online system with automatic direct debit
- Evaluation: Annually with parents, twice yearly with childminder through home visits

Mission & vision
Childminder agency (gastouderbureau) 't Vlindertje puts the needs of the child first. Every child is a unique person with their own developmental pace. The agency believes in providing a trusted environment where children can discover and explore the world. Play is central to children's development, because play is the language of children and stimulates their growth.
Pedagogical vision
The pedagogical goal is to offer care, nurturing and guidance for children from 6 weeks to 12 years old in a homely and trusted environment. Childminders (gastouders) work on three core competencies: providing emotional security, developing personal competence, and transferring norms and values. The care takes place in partnership with parents, with attention to both childcare and upbringing.

Summary
Childminder agency 't Vlindertje in Rijnsburg was inspected on 21 September 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Hollands Midden. The agency mediates for 34 childminders at 38 childcare locations, primarily in the municipality of Katwijk. The annual inspection found that the agency meets the quality requirements in most areas. There was one shortcoming: the pedagogical policy plan did not describe concretely enough how the agency implements coaching of childminders by the pedagogical policy officer. The licence holder made use of the recovery offer and the shortcoming has since been resolved. On all other topics (personnel, safety and health, quality and duty of care), the requirements are met. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
