For parents
Our childminder agency offers flexible, small-scale childcare in childminders' homes throughout Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. Childminder care is particularly suitable for parents looking for tailored childcare, for example with varying working hours or a need for a homely environment. Our experienced placement coordinators help you find a childminder who matches your wishes and those of your child. Throughout the entire process, from registration to daily use, the placement coordinator remains your dedicated point of contact.
Subsidy & costs
The childminder agency provides assistance with applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Parents can use the calculator tool on our website to calculate the net costs of childminder care in their specific situation. We advise parents on the possibilities for financial support.
Through our online calculator tool, parents can easily calculate what childminder care costs in their specific situation. Rates depend on various factors such as the number of care hours and the age of the child. We advise parents to use the calculator tool for a personal calculation of the net costs.
Trust & screening
All childminders go through a selection procedure that looks at experience with children, qualifications and suitability of the home environment. The childminder agency uses the pedagogical work plan in the selection of new childminders and subsequently provides intensive guidance. Childminders' home environments are checked for safety and hygiene in accordance with legal requirements.
Our childminder agency is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) under number 296625346. All childminders are qualified and their home environment meets legal requirements for safety and hygiene. We work according to a pedagogical work plan that complies with government regulations and have an extensive safety and health policy. GGD reports can be viewed via the LRK.

Mission & vision
Our mission is that every child is unique, welcome and seen with us. We offer children a safe place and give them the space they need for their personal development. We do this together with the child, parents/carers, professionals and partner organisations. Our vision is growing together in our inclusive childcare. We prepare children for the world of tomorrow, so that they can contribute to a society where people look out for one another.
Pedagogical vision
Our pedagogical work plan for childminder (gastouder) care is based on four core pedagogical goals: providing emotional security, developing personal competencies, developing social competencies, and transferring values and norms. Childminders work with six interaction skills, both basic (sensitive responsiveness, respect for autonomy, structuring and setting boundaries) and educational (talking and explaining, developmental stimulation, guiding interactions). We strive for a warm, trusting relationship between childminder and child, where the child feels safe and secure and can be themselves.
