Connected via agency
At Thuis van Huis, we help you personally find a caring, professional childminder (gastouder) who matches your wishes and family. We ensure a good match, clear agreements, and a reliable foundation. Childminder care (gastouderopvang) offers a homely atmosphere in a familiar environment, with flexible childcare hours and often more affordable than a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV). Our childminders (gastouders) are well-trained, complete annual training and paediatric first aid, and are regularly checked by us and the GGD (Municipal Health Service).
Childminder agency (gastouderbureau) Thuis van Huis is active in two regions: North Brabant (Southeast Brabant) and North Holland. Our team has staff in both regions for personal guidance. Our head office is located in Mierlo. We mediate between parents and childminders (gastouders) in these regions, where childminders (gastouders) can provide childcare in their own home or as a childminder at the parents' home.
Thuis van Huis works exclusively with registered childminders (gastouders) who meet all legal requirements. Every childminder (gastouder) is carefully screened by us and the GGD (Municipal Health Service), registered with the municipality, and included in the National Childcare Register (LRK). We carry out the Risk Inventory and Evaluation (RIE) annually and the GGD can conduct inspections at any time. Childminders (gastouders) hold a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), appropriate diploma, and first aid certificate. We ourselves are registered in the LRK under number 149051232.
