We offer personal mediation between parents and childminders (gastouders), paying extensive attention to your wishes and needs. Our placement staff are pedagogically trained professionals who guide the entire process, from intake through to the ongoing care arrangement. We ensure quality assurance through screening of childminders (gastouders), regular visits and support with practical matters such as contracts, invoicing and childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).

Christian Childminder Agency De Herberg has 15 regional branches throughout the Netherlands and offers childminder care (gastouderopvang) in dozens of cities and regions. Our childminders (gastouders) are active in both urban and rural areas, from Groningen to Limburg and from Zeeland to Twente. Parents can turn to us for Christian childminder care (gastouderopvang) close to home, with the option of care at the childminder's (gastouder's) home or in-home care at the parents' home.

Christian Childminder Agency De Herberg is a recognised and GGD-registered childminder agency (gastouderbureau), which means parents are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).

Our childminders (gastouders) are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and we carry out annual risk assessments at care locations. We hold the cashier function and submit monthly care hours to the Tax and Customs Administration for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) verification.
