For parents
ViaViela helps parents find a suitable childminder (gastouder) in the Ede, Veenendaal and Wageningen region. We mediate between parents and professional childminders who are registered with the LRK (National Childcare Register) and work in small groups of up to 6 children for personal attention. Our dedicated regional contact person guides you through the entire process: from discussing your childcare needs and cost calculation to meeting childminders and starting care. We ensure quality assurance through regular visits to care locations and support both parents and childminders with administration, invoicing and pedagogical questions.
Subsidy & costs
ViaViela informs parents about the possibilities for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). During the introductory meeting, you will receive explanation about applying for the benefit with the Tax and Customs Administration. Through our online administration system, you can easily register childcare hours needed for the benefit application. Payments run via the Stichting Gastoudergelden, enabling the Tax and Customs Administration to verify that you are actually paying your childminder. We always advise parents to check the current benefit rules on the Tax and Customs Administration website themselves.
ViaViela offers a cost calculation tool on the website where parents can calculate what childminder (gastouder) care costs in their situation compared to other forms of childcare. Childminder care is on average 20% cheaper than daycare centers (kinderdagverblijf/KDV). During the introductory meeting, your contact person prepares a personal cost calculation based on your childcare wishes and hours. Rates are set by the childminder themselves, within the maximum prices set by the government. ViaViela does not charge mediation fees to parents.
Trust & screening
ViaViela carefully screens potential childminders before they are admitted to the network. Childminders must hold the required diplomas, a Certificate of Conduct (VOG), and their care location must comply with all safety and hygiene regulations. After registration in the National Childcare Register, ViaViela visits every childminder regularly to evaluate the care and ensure the location remains fully approved. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) additionally checks every two years whether childminders meet the set conditions.

Mission & vision
ViaViela believes in childminder (gastouder) care in a small-scale, homely environment where building a secure attachment relationship with the child comes first. Only then can children feel safe and begin to explore the world. We recognise the uniqueness of every child, and all children are welcome — including those who need extra care. ViaViela gives children room to discover, so they can take the lead in their own development and grow up with self-confidence into an independent, unique individual.
Pedagogical vision
ViaViela translates its vision into principles for pedagogical practice based on the four pedagogical core objectives of Prof. J.M.A. Riksen Walraven, as stated in the Childcare Act. The core values are: secure attachment, attention to the uniqueness of the child, and talent development. Childminders (gastouders) are supported with tools such as workshops, online courses, a pedagogical work plan template, and a child tracking system to consistently translate this vision into daily care.
