Gastouderland offers flexible childminder (gastouder) care in a homely atmosphere, where your child is always cared for by the same childminder. This creates a sense of safety and familiarity. The care is small-scale with plenty of personal attention, which promotes children's social skills. As official childcare, you are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Your personal regional consultant guides you in finding a suitable childminder and is always available with short lines of communication.

Gastouderland has national coverage with 23 locations throughout the Netherlands. Our regional consultants work locally and have access to a large database of qualified childminders in every region. We have locations across the country to serve you as locally as possible.

Gastouderland complies with the Childcare Act and is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). All childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and Childcare Personnel Register (PRK). Childminders and household members hold a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). The care location is checked annually for safety and hygiene through a risk assessment. We have an internal and external complaints procedure and are a member of the Disputes Committee.
