At Kinderopvang LinQ, we value personal attention and flexibility. We help you find a childminder (gastouder) who suits your family and working hours. Our childminders work with small groups of up to 6 children, often in a homely environment. You only pay for the hours you use and can count on flexible childcare hours. We mediate between parents and carefully screened childminders in Friesland, with attention for a good match and mutual trust.

Kinderopvang LinQ mediates childminders in the Friesland region, particularly in the areas of Harlingen, Bolsward, Joure and Franeker. Our childminders are spread throughout Friesland, enabling us to find suitable childcare for many parents in the province. The agency has its office in Winsum.

Kinderopvang LinQ operates in accordance with the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang) and all childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang/LRK). Childminders must meet strict requirements: Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag/VOG), valid first aid certificate for children, relevant qualification (MBO-2 or equivalent), and they work according to the pedagogical policy plan. Childminders' homes are inspected annually for safety and hygiene by the municipal health service (GGD). Parents can view inspection reports via the LRK. The agency has an internal complaints procedure and encourages the establishment of a parent committee.
