Gastouderland Midden Limburg helps parents find suitable childminder care (gastouderopvang) in the Midden-Limburg region. We offer a no-obligation intake with no registration fees, during which we map out your wishes and search for a suitable childminder (gastouder) or childminder at home. Our consultant Yvonne personally guides you through the entire process.

We work with quality childminders who meet all legal requirements, including diplomas, Paediatric First Aid (Kinder-EHBO) and Certificate of Conduct (VOG). Our childminders work with the early childhood education programme AAP! for your child's development. You only pay for the actual childcare hours and agency fees, and we offer support with applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).

Gastouderland Midden Limburg operates throughout the entire Midden-Limburg region. We have childminders in various places in the region, including Roermond, Weert, Echt, Heythuysen, Haelen, Horn, Maasbracht, Swalmen and many other municipalities. Our consultant is personally involved and lives in the region, ensuring short lines of communication and local knowledge.

For parents living on the edge of Midden-Limburg or working towards the south, we also collaborate with Gastouderland Zuid-Limburg for childminders in places such as Maastricht, Sittard, Geleen and Kerkrade.

Gastouderland Midden Limburg meets all legal requirements of the Childcare Act. All childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and have the required diplomas, Paediatric First Aid (Kinder-EHBO) certificate and Certificate of Conduct (VOG). Housemates and those regularly present also have a VOG.

The agency is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) and inspection reports are publicly accessible. We are affiliated with the Childcare Disputes Committee for complaint handling and have both an internal and external complaints procedure. Our pedagogical policy plan, privacy policy and other documents are transparently available to parents.

At Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje, we value personal contact. You will be assigned a dedicated placement coordinator who knows your situation and guides you in finding a suitable childminder (gastouder). We support you with all practical matters such as applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), drawing up contracts, and resolving any questions or issues. Our childminders offer small-scale childcare in a homely atmosphere, so your child receives plenty of personal attention and feels safe and secure.

Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje is active in various regions throughout the Netherlands. We provide services for childminders (gastouders) and parents in the area of small-scale childcare in, among others, Central and West Brabant, Southeast Brabant, North Limburg, Central Limburg, South Limburg, Drechtsteden, Gouda, South Holland, and Utrecht. Within these regions, we work in dozens of municipalities and cities.

We have been working with the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration since 2008 and are a reliable and transparent organisation. Our childminders (gastouders) are inspected by the municipal health service (GGD) at least once every 2 years and hold the required diplomas, first aid certificate, and Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag). We are registered with the Chamber of Commerce and have LRK numbers for various locations. We are inspected annually by the GGD on our working methods and procedures. We hold certificates from the Disputes Committee for all our locations.
