At Gastouderburo Zowiezo, we believe personal attention and flexibility matter. We match parents with childminders (gastouders) and take care of all the administration and financial processing. Parents are assigned their own placement coordinator who guides them in finding a suitable childminder and remains available for questions and support.
We arrange the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) application with the Dutch Tax Authority, pay the childminders, and advance the benefit. We also offer support from a pedagogue for parenting questions and help arrange emergency childcare when needed.
Gastouderburo Zowiezo is based in Wognum (municipality of Medemblik) and has an extensive network of childminders (gastouders) throughout North Holland. Our placement coordinators are active in the region and match parents with childminders in various locations. The agency is supervised by GGD Hollands Noorden.
Gastouderburo Zowiezo is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) under number 150397525 and is supervised by GGD Hollands Noorden. We operate in accordance with the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang) and maintain a pedagogical policy plan that is regularly evaluated and updated.
All childminders (gastouders) meet legal requirements: MBO-2 diploma (or equivalent), Paediatric First Aid, Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag), and registration in the LRK. They complete annual refresher training in pedagogical policy, first aid, and the Child Abuse Reporting Code (Meldcode Kindermishandeling).
We have a parent committee with advisory rights on our policy and a complaints procedure for handling any concerns. Our inspection reports are publicly available.
