Nijenhuis - Donkers

At Gastouderbureau Juut & Co, we help parents find a wonderful place for their child(ren). It's important to us that parents feel completely at ease with the childcare arrangement. That's why we look for a childminder (gastouder) who truly fits the family. Personal contact and direct communication are essential to us. We listen carefully to what matters to parents and to the childminder's wishes, so that a warm, trusting match can develop. A childminder cares for your child(ren) primarily in their own home, though in some situations care at your home can be arranged when this better suits your needs.

Gastouderbureau Juut & Co operates throughout the entire Achterhoek region. Our service area extends from Steenderen to Winterswijk, as we mediate between parents and childminders in various places across this region. We have more than 25 years of experience in the Achterhoek and are familiar with the local communities and needs.

At Gastouderbureau Juut & Co, quality always comes first. Our bureau is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) and the inspection reports are publicly available. Our childminders are also inspected by the GGD, usually unannounced, making these checks especially reliable. The reports of our childminders, including their unique registration number, can be found in the National Childcare Register. We have a clear complaints procedure in accordance with the Childcare Act, and parents can be part of the parent committee to contribute ideas on important policy and practice matters.

Gastouderland offers small-scale childminder care (gastouderopvang) in a homely atmosphere, where your child always sees the familiar face of the same childminder (gastouder). This personal approach provides a safe and secure feeling. Childminder care is a flexible form of childcare where you only pay for the hours you actually need, with options for 24-hour care and accommodation of irregular working hours.

We actively search for a childminder who matches your wishes and those of your child. You can meet with multiple childminders until you have found the perfect 100% match. You only pay agency fees once a match is found, and we always strive for the most favourable calculation possible.

Gastouderland has national coverage with 23 locations throughout the Netherlands. Our regional consultants work locally and are always available in your area for personal contact and short lines of communication. We have a large database of qualified childminders in every region, so there is always a suitable childminder near you.

Our locations operate in all regions of the Netherlands, from Amsterdam to Groningen and from Limburg to Friesland. Through this national coverage, we can serve parents throughout the Netherlands with local expertise and personal guidance.

Gastouderland complies with all requirements of the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang) and is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). All our childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang/LRK) and hold the required diplomas, Child First Aid certificate and Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag/VOG). Adult housemates from 18 years and structural visitors must also have a VOG.

We carry out annual risk assessments for safety and health at the childcare locations and visit childminders at least twice a year. Our consultants check whether the home meets all safety and hygiene requirements. Gastouderland is a member of the Disputes Committee and has both an internal and external complaints procedure.
