Our placement staff know all childminders personally and also visit your home for an intake interview. We offer two packages: the comfort package where we arrange everything from finding a childminder to the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), and the basic package where you find a childminder yourself. We provide annual risk assessments, pedagogical advice, collective insurance, and access to our online portal where you can view invoices, childcare hours, and policy documents.

We carry out annual risk assessments at childminders' locations and have taken out collective liability and accident insurance.
