At Gastouderbureau KOOS, we find the right match between parent, child and childminder (gastouder) essential. Our placement coordinators listen to your wishes and search for a childminder who fits your family. You are assigned a dedicated contact person who guides you from the first conversation through to annual evaluations. We handle all administration, help with applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) and are always available for questions or support. Our childminders provide care in a homely atmosphere with small groups, so your child receives personal attention in a familiar environment.

Gastouderbureau KOOS is active in the Salland and Apeldoorn region. In Salland, we have dozens of care locations spread across various towns. Our childminders (gastouders) are based in Raalte, Heino and surrounding villages, among others. We always work close to home, so that care is easily accessible for both parents and children.

Gastouderbureau KOOS operates fully in accordance with the Childcare Act. All childminders (gastouders) are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and are regularly inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). We carry out annual risk assessments for safety and hygiene, and verify that childminders still meet the required qualifications and Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). Childminders work in accordance with KOOS's pedagogical policy and follow training for continuous development. Parents can always view inspection reports of childminders via the National Childcare Register.
