The childminder agency (gastouderbureau) of Kinderopvang Friesland matches parents with childminders throughout the entire province of Friesland. We offer small-scale, home-like childcare for children aged 0 to 13, where your child is always cared for by the same person. This creates a personal bond and a familiar environment that feels like a second home.

You can choose care at the childminder's home or at your own home, with flexible options for care hours, holidays, and study days. Our placement coordinators personally guide you in finding a childminder who suits your family situation and parenting style.

The childminder agency of Kinderopvang Friesland operates in every corner of the province of Friesland. Our administration is based in Franeker, but we match childminders and parents throughout the entire province. Each region has a specialized placement coordinator who knows the childminders in that area well, enabling us to tailor placements to the wishes of both parents and childminders.

We want your child to be cared for safely. That is why every childminder is assessed by our placement coordinators and by the GGD (Municipal Health Service). This happens before starting, and continues to return annually. The childminders are familiar with applicable laws and protocols and know how to act safely in various situations.

Besides physical safety, social-emotional safety is equally important. Attention is given to this as well. Inspection reports of our childminder agency are publicly available via the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang).
