Driessen-Rijsdijk

At Gastouderbureau Kidko, we find personal contact incredibly important. We mediate between parents and childminders for flexible childcare for children from 0 to 13 years, both at the childminder's home and at your home through our nanny service. Our team of nine employees is ready with expert advice, quick communication and guidance that suits your situation.

We check whether the childcare meets the requirements of the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang) and take care of the complete hours administration for the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). With more than 130 childminders in four provinces, we often have a suitable match in your region. You can also register with us together with an existing childminder (such as a grandparent, friend or neighbour).

Gastouderbureau Kidko operates in four provinces: Zuid-Holland, Utrecht, Noord-Brabant and West-Gelderland. The bureau was started more than 14 years ago in Alblasserdam and has grown to become the largest childminder bureau in the Drechtsteden region. With more than 130 childminders spread across these regions, we can provide parents in a large area with suitable childcare. For questions about possibilities outside these regions, please contact us.

Kidko meets all legal requirements of the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang) and is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) under number 181692363. The bureau has a current GGD inspection report (2025) and holds a complaint-free certificate (2024). All childminders must hold at least a diploma MBO-2 Helpende Zorg en Welzijn and are regularly screened. Kidko carries out annual risk assessments at childminders and provides access to an external complaints committee.

At Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje, we believe children should be able to learn through play in a safe and secure environment. We offer small-scale childminder care (gastouderopvang) with personal attention at its heart. Parents are assigned a fixed placement coordinator per region who guides them in finding a suitable childminder (gastouder) and assists with all questions regarding care. Our childminders are qualified, certified and receive regular further training. We also support parents with practical matters such as applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) and administrative processing.

Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje is active in various parts of the Netherlands. We provide services for childminders and parents regarding small-scale childcare in, among others, the following regions: Central and West Brabant, Southeast Brabant, North Limburg, Central Limburg, South Limburg, Drechtsteden, Gouda and surroundings, South Holland and Utrecht. Within these regions, we work in dozens of municipalities and towns.

We meet all statutory quality requirements for childcare and are supervised by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). Our childminders are inspected by the GGD at least once every 2 years and hold a Certificate of Conduct (VOG). We are affiliated with the Disputes Committee and hold 'dispute-free' certificates for all our locations. All childminder agencies are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and we work with the Tax and Customs Administration for transparent administration. We are inspected annually by the GGD on our working methods and procedures.
