Childminder care (gastouderopvang) at Hoppas is 'your second home' — personal childcare in a homely atmosphere with the same, familiar face every day. This small-scale care offers flexibility in hours and is often available close to home. Children enjoy playing and discovering together in a small group of maximum 6 children.
Our childminders (gastouders) are flexible and provide bespoke care tailored to your needs. The childminder agency (gastouderbureau) handles the administrative matters and supports both childminders and parents. For care from 20 hours per week, childminder care is generally more affordable than a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV).
