At Christian Childminder Agency De Herberg, we help parents find a suitable Christian childminder (gastouder) for their child. We take ample time to explain everything, inform, and guide parents through the entire process. Childminder care (gastouderopvang) with us is personal care: a childminder has an eye for each child thanks to the small group size, which ensures optimal development in a safe and familiar environment. Research by Leiden University has shown that children feel better in a small-scale environment — they feel more relaxed, safer, and enjoy activities more. Our placement staff are pedagogically trained professionals who not only make matches, but also guide the entire care arrangement and safeguard pedagogical quality.

Christian Childminder Agency De Herberg operates nationally with 15 locations throughout the Netherlands. Our childminders are active in dozens of places across the country, including Emmen, Enschede, Steenwijk, Alkmaar, Zaandam, Nijkerk, Amersfoort, Zwolle, Drachten, Assen, Ommen, Utrecht, Nieuwegein, Appingedam, Delfzijl, Groningen, Wezep, Hattem, Apeldoorn, Deventer, Meppel, Wierden, Emmeloord, Stadskanaal, Hoogeveen, Kampen, Harderwijk, Woudenberg, Scherpenzeel, Kesteren, Geldermalsen, Barneveld, Lienden, Houten, Arnhem, Hengelo, Ede, and Veenendaal. We have both childminders who provide care in their own home and childminders who come to parents' homes.

Christian Childminder Agency De Herberg is a recognised and GGD-registered childminder agency, which means that parents are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). We ensure that all childminders meet the requirements of the Childcare Act and are registered in the National Childcare Register. Our placement staff are pedagogically trained professionals who safeguard the quality of care. We carry out annual risk assessments at care locations, hold evaluation conversations with parents and childminders, and ensure the necessary documentation and record-keeping. The GGD checks both our financial flows and the quality of care.

Tante Vroesh mediates between parents and childminders or nannies, with the goal that you can leave your child with peace of mind. The agency helps you find a suitable childminder in four clear steps: from sharing your wishes to signing the contract. You decide which childminder to choose after introductory meetings. The agency also provides support in case of illness or holiday of your regular childminder.

Tante Vroesh has a network of over seventy childminders spread across Kampen, Zwolle, Zalk, Wezep and Oldebroek. The agency also looks beyond this network for suitable matches. Childminders are active in various neighbourhoods and know the local primary schools, which ensures practical and accessible childcare locations.

Tante Vroesh complies with all legal obligations for childminder agencies and is inspected annually by the GGD (Municipal Health Service). The inspection report is publicly available via the National Childcare Register (LRK). The agency has an internal complaints procedure in accordance with the Childcare Act and offers parents the option of external complaint handling via the Childcare Complaints Office or the Disputes Committee. All childminders hold a first aid (EHBO) diploma.
