For parents
At Gastouderbureau Uit & Thuis, you will find small-scale, personal childminder care (gastouderopvang) in the Noordoostpolder. The bureau helps you find a childminder (gastouder) from your own neighbourhood or village who matches your wishes and needs. You get one dedicated contact person who guides you from the first conversation to the start of care. The bureau finds the right match, draws up contracts, handles invoicing and carries out evaluation meetings. All childminders (gastouders) work according to a pedagogical policy plan and are regularly checked for safety and quality.
Subsidy & costs
Parents can apply for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) for childminder care (gastouderopvang) at Gastouderbureau Uit & Thuis. The amount of the benefit depends on your income, the number of children, the type of care, the childminder's hourly rate and the number of care hours. The bureau refers parents to the Tax Authority's calculation tool to get an indication of the benefit they are entitled to. The bureau itself charges €40 per household per month as bureau costs, which is not part of the benefit calculation.
The costs for childminder care (gastouderopvang) at Gastouderbureau Uit & Thuis consist of two parts: the childminder's hourly rate and the bureau costs. Childminders (gastouders) set their own hourly rate, with a recommendation between €7.25 and €8.00 per hour. The bureau charges €40 per household per month. For parents using fewer than 25 hours of care per month, an adjusted rate can be offered by arrangement. All rates are contractually agreed.

Mission & vision
Gastouderbureau Uit & Thuis's mission is to support parents in a pleasant, personal and professional manner with the care of their children. The bureau strives to provide high-quality childminder care (gastouderopvang) through close collaboration with both parents and childminders (gastouders). The vision is 'Wherever Uit is, it's a bit of Thuis' — creating a safe and trusted environment where children feel at home and can develop optimally. With pedagogical knowledge, insight, calm, patience and space, they give children the opportunity to develop.
Pedagogical vision
Gastouderbureau Uit & Thuis works according to the four pedagogical basic goals of Professor J.M.A. Riksen-Walraven: 1) providing physical and emotional safety, 2) promoting personal competence in children (independence, self-confidence, creativity), 3) promoting social competence (communicating, cooperating, resolving conflicts), and 4) socialisation through the transfer of values and norms. The bureau has an eye for every child, regardless of origin, religion or background, and strives for inclusion and respect. Childminders (gastouders) provide care in a safe environment that meets the requirements of the Childcare Act (Wet kinderopvang), with room for personal attention and development.
