At Villa Kroost, we believe personal attention and a homely atmosphere are important. As a parent, you receive a dedicated contact person who guides you from the start of your childminder (gastouder) care arrangement. We work with fixed, low placement fees of €38.50 per month per family, so you never face any surprises. Our childminders are visited at least twice a year to monitor the quality of care, and we have contact with parents about the care at least once a year. We believe it is important that there is a good connection between parents and childminder, which is why we organise introductory meetings at your home.

Villa Kroost is active in the eastern part of Gelderland, particularly in the Achterhoek and Liemers regions. The agency has deliberately chosen to work with childminders in this area because the founders live there themselves and can therefore be close by and involved. Childminders mainly come from Gelderland, particularly from the Achterhoek/Doetinchem region. The service area includes both daycare for children aged 0-4 and after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4-12.

Villa Kroost is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) under number 210758855, which means childminder (gastouder) care through the agency qualifies for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). The agency is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) for compliance with the Childcare Act. All childminders must meet legal requirements such as an MBO-2 diploma in Helping (Care and) Welfare, a recognised First Aid for Children certificate, and a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag/VOG). The agency sets additional quality requirements for childminders.
