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

Summary
The childminder agency (gastouderbureau) 't Vlindertje in Rijnsburg was inspected on 28 April 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Hollands Midden on behalf of the municipality of Katwijk. This follow-up investigation was conducted after an annual inspection on 22 September 2025 during which shortcomings were identified regarding the Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and the childcare persons register. At two childminder care locations (gastouderopvang), adult household members and a structurally present person were found to be incorrectly registered or not linked in the persons register. Following a recovery offer, these deficiencies have been resolved. The holder has drawn up a work description with measures to prevent recurrence, including bi-monthly checks, revised intake interviews, and home visits. The quality requirements for personnel are being met. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
