Gastouderbureau NL offers parents in Groningen and surrounding areas personal guidance in finding a suitable childminder (gastouder). We mediate between parents and certified childminders (gastouders) who work in a home environment with small groups (maximum 6 children). Our consultants support you with all administration, including the application for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). With our years of experience since 2006, we ensure a safe, trusted care environment where your child can develop optimally.

Parents can search for childminder care (gastouderopvang) in their immediate living environment through the agency.

The agency works transparently with digital hour registration and invoicing via Portabase.
