ViaViela is the largest childminder agency in the Netherlands with a national network of 40 locations and more than 225,000 children cared for since 2005. We offer parents personal mediation to qualified childminders in a homely environment. You get a fixed contact person in your region who guides you from the first conversation until the care starts. Our childminders are carefully screened, are registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang), and receive regular pedagogical support. ViaViela also helps with the application for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) and offers a user-friendly online system for administration and communication.

ViaViela has a national network with 40 locations spread throughout the Netherlands. We are active in all regions and have local contact persons who know the area and the childminder offerings well. Our locations provide personal guidance at regional level, taking into account local differences and needs. Parents can always count on a childminder in their neighbourhood thanks to our extensive network of more than 4,500 registered childminders.

ViaViela meets all legal requirements for childminder agencies and is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang/LRK). Our childminders hold the required diplomas (MBO-2 Helpende Zorg en Welzijn or equivalent) and their care locations meet safety and hygiene regulations. The municipal health service (GGD) inspects childminders every two years and childminder agencies annually. ViaViela itself carries out at least two visits per year to every care location and provides continuous education to childminders. We have an internal complaints procedure according to the Childcare Act and work with protocols and guidelines from our knowledge guide.

Gastouderland offers small-scale childminder (gastouder) care in a home setting, where a maximum of six children are cared for with personal attention for each child. As a parent, you benefit from flexible childcare hours that can be tailored to your working hours, including options for 24-hour care or irregular shifts. Your child sees the familiar face of the childminder every day, which provides a safe and secure feeling. Childminder care is a more affordable form of childcare than daycare centers (kinderdagverblijf/KDV), with a lower hourly rate and payment only for the hours actually used.

Gastouderland Eindhoven operates throughout the Eindhoven region and surrounding areas. Our childminders are active in Eindhoven and various surrounding municipalities, so there is always a suitable childminder available near you. Your consultant Greetje van Deurzen is your contact person within the Eindhoven region and is ready to help you with childminder care placement.

Gastouderland complies with the Childcare Act and is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). All childminders are qualified, hold a Paediatric First Aid certificate and a Certificate of Conduct (VOG). Housemates over 18 and regular visitors are also screened via the Childcare Personnel Register. The care locations are checked annually for safety and hygiene through risk assessments. Gastouderland has an internal and external complaints procedure and is a member of the Disputes Committee. Parents are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) because all childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register.
