Childminder care (gastouderopvang) through Gastouderbureau Heuvelrug offers flexible care for your child(ren) in a homely environment, with plenty of attention for your child. Childminders may care for a maximum of 5-6 children at a time, ensuring small-scale care with an emphasis on learning through play. For parents, childminder care is attractive because this form of care is flexible — you pay per hour worked and can therefore arrange care for just a few hours without being tied to a full day or half-day. Childminder care falls under the Childcare Act, which means parents may be eligible for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) from the government.
