Rivierenkind has been mediating for many years to help you find a trusted professional childminder (gastouder) for your child. A major advantage of childminder care (gastouderopvang) is that there are no waiting lists. Matching a childminder to your family is a tailor-made process: we look not only at location, available days and times, but also at values, norms, and your vision on raising your child(ren). Our childminders offer your child a second home in a safe environment. The agency handles mediation, guidance, risk assessments, evaluations, and an online hour registration system for transparent cost insight.

Childminder agency (gastouderbureau) Rivierenkind is active in the Central Netherlands region and offers childminder care (gastouderopvang) in various municipalities in this region. The agency is based in Leerdam and operates from this location for placement in surrounding areas. Care can take place at the childminder's home or at the requesting parent's home, depending on the chosen form of childminder care.

Rivierenkind operates in accordance with legal requirements for childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus) and falls under supervision of the GGD Utrecht region. The agency has a pedagogical policy plan that is regularly reviewed and that childminders (gastouders) must be familiar with. There is a complaints procedure and child abuse protocol. The care locations are visited annually for a Risk Inventory Safety and Health, and randomly by the GGD. In addition, progress interviews are held with the childminder and the care is evaluated. The agency has a parent committee that represents parents and contributes ideas on policy.
