Are you looking for homely, small-scale childcare with a familiar face, or do you need flexible drop-off and pick-up times? Dichtbij gastouderbureau mediates and advises on childcare for your child with a childminder (gastouder). You can determine yourself, in consultation with the childminder, when your child is cared for.

We provide childcare for children up to 13 years old and work exclusively with qualified childminders who meet strict quality standards. All childminders have a paediatric first aid certificate and receive regular training. The childminder agency knows the childminders personally through regular contact.

You are eligible for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) because Dichtbij is a recognised childminder agency, registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK). We do not charge registration fees and arrange payments for you.

Dichtbij gastouderbureau is a recognised agency registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK). We meet all legal requirements and are regularly inspected by the GGD (Municipal Health Service). You can consult the inspection reports of our agency and individual childminders via the LRK.

We work in accordance with the Reporting Code on Domestic Violence and Child Abuse. If a childminder suspects that a child is being abused at home, we enter into conversation with the parents. Our childminders receive guidelines for healthy nutrition and work in accordance with our pedagogical policy.

Annually, we check whether childminders' homes are safe, child-friendly, and clean, so that children are cared for in a safe and trusted environment. We regularly evaluate the childminder childcare.

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.
