At the Gastoudercoöperatie you will find experienced childminders who provide professional childcare in a homely atmosphere. We mediate between parents and childminders and ensure a good match based on pedagogical vision and practical preferences. Parents only pay the agreed hourly rate to the childminder, with no additional agency fees. Our placement coordinators guide the entire process, from the initial introductory meeting to contract signing and beyond.

The Gastoudercoöperatie is based in Beverwijk. Parents can search for childminders in their area via our website. The exact service area depends on the locations of our affiliated childminders, who may be spread across various towns.

The Gastoudercoöperatie is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK number: 118706263) and falls under supervision of the Municipal Health Service (GGD). We have a parent committee where parents can contribute ideas on quality and policy. For complaints, we follow a clear procedure and are affiliated with the Childcare Disputes Committee. Our inspection reports are publicly available in the LRK.

At Christelijk Gastouderbureau De Herberg, we find personal attention essential. Childminder care (gastouderopvang) is small-scale childcare in which a maximum of 5 children under 4 years old are cared for at the same time, which ensures plenty of personal attention for each child. Our childminders (gastouders) are pedagogically trained, qualified, and screened by us. They offer a homely environment in which children can grow up with other children, without getting lost in a large group. Research has shown that children who are cared for by a childminder feel safer and are more relaxed.

Christelijk Gastouderbureau De Herberg Gelderse Vallei serves the Gelderse Vallei region with a large network of Christian childminders (gastouders). Our location is active in places such as Ede, Veenendaal, Renswoude, Bennekom, Wageningen, Barneveld, Ederveen, Lunteren, and surrounding areas. We have many years of experience with small-scale childminder care (gastouderopvang) in this region and help parents find a suitable childminder in their neighbourhood.

Christelijk Gastouderbureau De Herberg is a recognised and GGD-registered childminder agency (gastouderbureau) (LRK: 955688899, KvK: 51640600). We meet all quality requirements that the Childcare Act (Wet kinderopvang) sets for childminders (gastouders) and childminder agencies. The GGD carries out annual inspection investigations, the reports of which are publicly available. As a childminder agency, we have the cashier function, which means that financial flows go through us and the government has control over the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) through us.
