Smarttkids is your partner in finding suitable childminder (gastouder) care. We mediate between parents seeking care and childminders, ensuring a good match based on your wishes and needs. Our agency takes on the administrative burden for you, including invoicing, annual statements and communication with the Tax Authority. You get access to a personal portal where you always have insight into your administration and care hours.

Smarttkids has national coverage with 10 locations spread throughout the Netherlands. The agency is active in various regions and cities, allowing parents in many areas to use the services. The locations are strategically placed to guarantee good service and accessibility for parents across the country.

Smarttkids is a recognized childminder agency (gastouderbureau) that meets all legal requirements for childcare. The agency is responsible for the quality of care, compliance with the pedagogical policy plan, child abuse reporting code and registration in the persons register. All childminders are screened based on risk and health inventory forms approved by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). The agency works with its own evaluation forms and conducts regular inspections.

At Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje, we value personal contact. You will be assigned a dedicated placement coordinator who knows your situation and guides you in finding a suitable childminder (gastouder). We support you with all practical matters such as applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), drawing up contracts, and resolving any questions or issues. Our childminders offer small-scale childcare in a homely atmosphere, so your child receives plenty of personal attention and feels safe and secure.

Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje is active in various regions throughout the Netherlands. We provide services for childminders (gastouders) and parents in the area of small-scale childcare in, among others, Central and West Brabant, Southeast Brabant, North Limburg, Central Limburg, South Limburg, Drechtsteden, Gouda, South Holland, and Utrecht. Within these regions, we work in dozens of municipalities and cities.

We have been working with the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration since 2008 and are a reliable and transparent organisation. Our childminders (gastouders) are inspected by the municipal health service (GGD) at least once every 2 years and hold the required diplomas, first aid certificate, and Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag). We are registered with the Chamber of Commerce and have LRK numbers for various locations. We are inspected annually by the GGD on our working methods and procedures. We hold certificates from the Disputes Committee for all our locations.
