Bambini a Casa offers personalised, tailor-made solutions for parents seeking small-scale, homely childcare. The agency mediates between parents and professional childminders (gastouders), with the same childminder providing daily personal attention and a safe environment. Parents can count on flexibility in days and hours, and the childcare meets all requirements of the Childcare Act. The team is happy to visit you at home for a no-obligation personal consultation about your wishes and requirements.

Bambini a Casa is based in Venlo and mediates childminders (gastouders) in the region. The head office is located at Deken van Oppensingel 61A in Venlo, from where the team supports parents and childminders (gastouders) in the surrounding area. The agency fees are included in the hourly rate, for which parents receive monthly childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).

Bambini a Casa complies with all legal requirements of the Childcare Act and is assessed annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). In 2023, the agency demonstrated that it more than meets all stipulated conditions. An active parent committee advises on quality, pedagogical policy, safety and price changes. The agency is affiliated with the Disputes Committee for Childcare and Playgroups for complaint handling. Childminders (gastouders) are screened and regularly checked, and there are protocols for child abuse and transgressive behaviour.

ViaViela helps parents find a suitable childminder (gastouder) in their neighbourhood. The agency mediates between parents and professional childminders and offers personal guidance with a fixed contact person in every region. Parents receive support throughout the entire process, from searching for a childminder to daily care. ViaViela ensures quality and safety through regular visits to the care location and ongoing education for childminders.

ViaViela has approximately 50 locations spread throughout the Netherlands, so there is always a fixed contact person near parents and childminders. The agency covers virtually all regions of the Netherlands with locations in all major cities and many medium-sized towns. Parents can find a childminder in their own region through ViaViela's extensive network.

ViaViela complies with all legal requirements for childminder agencies and is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK). All childminders hold the required diplomas and are visited regularly to check whether the care location meets all safety and hygiene regulations. The GGD inspects the agency annually and the childminders every two years. ViaViela plays an important role in safeguarding quality through at least two visits per year to the care location and ongoing education for childminders.
