Connected via agency
At Gastouderbureau Zorg Voor Mijn Kind, we find personal contact with parents very important. Our service goes that extra mile: we come to your home for a personal conversation to hear your wishes and look together at how we can translate these wishes into the perfect childcare for your child(ren). We work with a digital registration system where parents and childminders can find all information, from hour registrations to invoices and agreements.
We operate on a small scale within a radius of up to 35km around Venray. Our childminders (gastouders) work in both North Limburg and adjacent Brabant. We like to keep lines short and therefore consciously work within a limited region, which ensures personal attention and quick accessibility.
We are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK: 220670067) and affiliated with important industry organisations. We are a partner of Nysa, a member of KNGO (the largest community in childminder care), a member of the disputes committee for complaint handling, and affiliated with BOinK (parents' interest association). Since our start in 2015, we have remained complaint-free. Our parent committee represents the interests of parents and advises on pedagogical policy and quality.
