Our staff are trained and can answer your questions, and we even have our own orthopedagogist for parenting questions and a health coach who advises on exercise and healthy nutrition. We have made BASIS agreements to ensure relationships remain good, with agreements about payment, illness, changes in care and house rules. Financially everything is well arranged with an online hours registration system, fixed direct debit dates and collective insurance.
