Gastouderbureau De Bengel guides parents in finding a loving, committed childminder (gastouder) who gives your child their full attention and supports their development through play. We offer small-scale care that feels safe and familiar, so you can go to work with peace of mind. Our childcare advisors get to know you and your wishes in depth, and ensure the right match with a childminder. We also guide you through all administrative matters, so everything is well arranged on your working days.

The agency offers care locations in dozens of places in Overijssel and Gelderland, including Almelo, Hengelo, Enschede, Rijssen, Nijverdal, Goor, Markelo, Borne, Haaksbergen, Lochem and many other municipalities. Parents can search for specific locations via the childcare locations page to find childminders in their immediate area.

The agency works in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/AVG) and has a privacy policy that complies with current legislation.

At Gastouderbureau Krokodilletje, you will find small-scale, personal childcare in a trusted environment. We listen carefully to your wishes and clearly map out your child's needs. Based on this, we actively search for a childminder who truly fits your family. You can choose care at the childminder's home or at your own home (childminder at home). Our goal is a warm, safe, and trusted childcare place where your child feels at ease — almost like a second home.

Gastouderbureau Krokodilletje has nationwide coverage with childminders in all regions of the Netherlands. Our extensive network includes more than 2,500 childminders spread across the entire country, from major cities to smaller villages. Thanks to our many years of experience and active recruitment of new childminders, we can help parents quickly and effectively find suitable childcare, regardless of where they live.

Krokodilletje meets all legal requirements for childminder agencies and is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK). We only work with childminders who meet strict selection criteria, including a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and a valid first aid certificate. We are inspected multiple times per year by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on our working methods and procedures. All inspection reports and annual complaint reports are transparently available via our website.
