At Je Beste Maatje, parents find flexible childminder (gastouder) care for children aged 0 to 12 years in a homely environment. Childminders care for a maximum of 6 children, ensuring small-scale provision and personal attention. The bureau mediates between parents and childminders and offers support with all practical matters, including applications for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Parents have a fixed point of contact in their childminder and can count on professional guidance from the bureau. Care is available in various forms: day care, before-school care, between-school care or after-school care (BSO), tailored to personal wishes.

Je Beste Maatje operates nationally through a franchise formula with regional branches. Each region has its own regional manager who handles mediation and guidance in that area. Parents are paired with the regional manager in their residential region for personal service and local expertise. The bureau has active branches in various regions throughout the Netherlands.
