Eck-Baelde

We offer bespoke childminder care (gastouderopvang) for your child, taking into account your specific wishes regarding upbringing, location and hours. Our childminders (gastouders) care for children in a small, home-based setting with a maximum of six children per childminder. We also mediate in-home babysitting for families who prefer childcare in their own home.

As a recognised childminder agency (gastouderbureau), we ensure that you qualify for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). We carefully select our childminders (gastouders) and they are all first aid certified and hold a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag). Your child will be cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.

Our childminder agency (gastouderbureau) is based in Woerden. We mediate childminder care (gastouderopvang) in the Utrecht region, with childminders (gastouders) spread across various locations in the area. Parents can come to us for care at a childminder's home or for in-home babysitting in their own neighbourhood.

Gastouderbureau 't Groene Hart is recognised and registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) under number 119931758. We comply with all statutory quality requirements and are inspected annually by the GGD Utrecht region. Childminders (gastouders) are inspected by the GGD on average once every two years.

We carry out annual risk assessments at childminders' (gastouders') homes to ensure safety and health. All childminders (gastouders) are required to be first aid certified and hold a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag). We are affiliated with a disputes committee for handling any complaints.

At Je Beste Maatje, we believe that childminder care (gastouderopvang) is more than just babysitting. It is small-scale, homely care where every child receives the personal attention and care they need to develop optimally. As a parent, you have a fixed point of contact in the childminder (gastouder), who can quickly and effectively respond to the needs, character, preferences and talents of your child. We offer flexible childcare options, including evening hours and Saturdays, and can accommodate various care needs such as daycare, before-school, between-school or after-school care (BSO).

Je Beste Maatje is a nationally operating childminder agency (gastouderbureau) with regional managers active in various parts of the Netherlands.

Parents can contact the regional manager in their area for personal guidance in finding a childminder (gastouder).

Childminder Agency (Gastouderbureau) Je Beste Maatje is a municipality-recognised and registered childminder agency in the National Childcare and Preschool Register (LRKP).

The agency is affiliated with the Disputes Committee for impartial assessment of complaints and works with the improved Reporting Code on Child Abuse. All childminders and adult family members must submit a Certificate of Conduct (VOG).
