Op de Kleintjes Letten helps you find a suitable childminder (gastouder) for your child(ren). The agency brings supply and demand together and personally guides you through the entire process. Together with a consultant, you create a search profile with your wishes and requirements, after which a search is conducted for a childminder who is a good match. The agency ensures quality control by screening childminders for diploma requirements and conducts risk assessments at care locations.

Op de Kleintjes Letten has childminders (gastouders) in the regions of Friesland, Groningen, and Drenthe. The agency is located in Hoogezand (Telstar 13, 9602 ZS) and serves parents and childminders in these three northern provinces. The consultants work personally with parents and childminders to make suitable matches within the service area.

Op de Kleintjes Letten operates in accordance with the requirements of the Childcare Act and attaches great importance to quality and safety.

Childminders (gastouders) are screened for diploma requirements (minimum MBO 2 Social Care Assistant) and care locations undergo risk assessments. Parents can find GGD reports of affiliated childminders through the National Childcare Register.
