Gastouderbureau Magnolia mediates between parents seeking childcare and childminders (gastouders) who want to provide care for children aged 0-13. The agency offers personal guidance from the first contact, during which a mediation advisor visits your home to map out your wishes and expectations. This personal approach forms the basis for a successful match between your child and a childminder. You can count on flexible childcare hours, including evenings and weekends, in a small-scale, homely environment.

Gastouderbureau Magnolia is active in the de Liemers region and surrounding areas. The agency mediates and guides childminders (gastouders) from the region and focuses on parents in this area who are looking for quality childminder care. The organisation has its office in Babberich and falls under the supervision of the municipality of Zevenaar.

Gastouderbureau Magnolia meets all requirements of the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang) and is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). The agency is registered in the National Childcare Register under number 124402550 and is affiliated with the Childcare Branch Organisation (Brancheorganisatie Kinderopvang). In addition, the agency is a member of Boink (parents' association) and falls under the disputes committee. All childminders (gastouders) work according to the pedagogical policy plan and their homes meet quality requirements for safety and health.

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.
