Kroostopvang offers tailor-made childminding (gastouderopvang) for children from 0 to 13 years. This small-scale form of childcare is flexible with regard to start and end times and care days. A childminder (gastouder) looks after a maximum of 6 children in her own home, creating a homely and personal atmosphere. We propose a childminder who matches your parenting wishes, with you making the final choice. The government contributes to the costs via childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), which can amount to approximately 90% of the costs.

Kroostopvang offers childminding (gastouderopvang) in the provinces of Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland and Utrecht. Our service area includes the regions of Haarlemmermeer, Velsen and Haarlem, Kaag & Braassem, the Bollenstreek, Rijn- en Duinstreek, Leiden and surrounding municipalities, Leidsche Rijn, Vleuten and De Meern. We have childminders in various cities and villages spread across these regions.

Kroostopvang is a recognised registered childminding agency (gastouderbureau) that complies with the Childcare Act (Wet kinderopvang). We carry out annual risk assessments to evaluate the home and surroundings for safety and hygiene. The municipal health service (GGD) inspector carries out regular inspections, the reports of which are available online. We are affiliated with the industry association Kinderopvang and work with a parent committee. Our childminders have a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag) and a first aid certificate for children.

At Kind&co ludens you will find small-scale childminder (gastouder) care in a homely atmosphere, where a maximum of six children are cared for per childminder. This ensures plenty of individual attention and a calm environment. The childminders work according to the Pedagogical Heart of Kind&co ludens and are supported by fixed contact persons from the agency. Parents can easily contact the childminder for personal handovers and can discuss changing times and days by arrangement. The agency mediates between parents and childminders and remains involved throughout the entire care period.

Kind&co ludens has childminders in many municipalities in central Netherlands. Parents can find childminders in their area via the location finder on the website. The service office is located in Houten, but childminders are spread across various places in the region.

The organisation meets the new quality requirements for childminder care that will come into effect on 1 July 2026. As a social childcare provider without profit motive, the organisation invests all revenue in the development of children.
