Gastouderbureau Magnolia mediates between parents seeking childcare and childminders (gastouders) who want to provide care for children aged 0-13. The agency offers personal guidance from the first contact, during which a mediation advisor visits your home to map out your wishes and expectations. This personal approach forms the basis for a successful match between your child and a childminder. You can count on flexible childcare hours, including evenings and weekends, in a small-scale, homely environment.

Gastouderbureau Magnolia is active in the de Liemers region and surrounding areas. The agency mediates and guides childminders (gastouders) from the region and focuses on parents in this area who are looking for quality childminder care. The organisation has its office in Babberich and falls under the supervision of the municipality of Zevenaar.

Gastouderbureau Magnolia meets all requirements of the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang) and is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). The agency is registered in the National Childcare Register under number 124402550 and is affiliated with the Childcare Branch Organisation (Brancheorganisatie Kinderopvang). In addition, the agency is a member of Boink (parents' association) and falls under the disputes committee. All childminders (gastouders) work according to the pedagogical policy plan and their homes meet quality requirements for safety and health.

At Gastouderbureau De Duiventil, parents receive a fixed point of contact (placement coordinator) who remains their contact person throughout the entire childcare period. Parents can count on quick and clear communication, support with applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), and a user-friendly online hours registration system. The bureau handles the treasury function, collects childcare fees and pays out reimbursements to the childminder. Annually, parents receive an overview of all reimbursements and childcare hours for reporting to the tax authorities. In case of absence of the regular childminder, the bureau actively helps find a replacement.

Gastouderbureau De Duiventil has national coverage with a branch in Doetinchem. The bureau mediates childminder childcare in a large part of the Netherlands, particularly in Duiven, Westervoort, Zevenaar, Arnhem, Zwolle, Den Haag, Eindhoven, Ede and Veenendaal. The bureau is happy to travel further for a good intake and is also glad to help in other locations. Placement is only for childcare at the childminder's home.

Gastouderbureau De Duiventil is inspected annually by the GGD (Municipal Health Service) for compliance with childcare legislation and regulations. All inspection reports from 2015 onwards are publicly available on the website. The bureau offers a complaints procedure and has remained free of complaints since its start in 2015. In case of disputes, parents can turn to the disputes committee. All childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and meet legal requirements.
