Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis offers parents in Friesland the option of flexible, small-scale childminder care (gastouderopvang) for children from 10 weeks to 13 years old. Parents can choose care at the childminder's home or possibly in their own home (nanny service). A special option is the possibility to register grandpa or grandma as a recognised childminder (gastouder), so that parents can benefit from childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) while their child is cared for in a familiar setting by family. The agency provides customised matching, looking not only at practical matters but also at alignment in norms, values, and parenting philosophy.

Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis provides childminder care (gastouderopvang) throughout Friesland. The agency has a broad network of childminders spread across the entire province, allowing parents in various Frisian municipalities and towns to make use of the services. The agency is based in Burgum but places childminders throughout Friesland.

Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis is a government-recognised and registered childminder agency (LRK 232661960) that is inspected annually by GGD Fryslân. The agency must meet all legal requirements of the Childcare Act and is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang). All inspection reports are publicly available via the website. The agency has a pedagogical policy, domestic violence and child abuse protocol, complaints procedure, and maintains a parent committee as legally required.

At Gastouderbureau Kindvriendelijk, you will find small-scale, homely childcare for children from 0 to 13 years old. We mediate between parents and carefully selected childminders (gastouders) who meet strict quality requirements. Our fixed placement coordinators get to know you and your family well, so that we can find suitable childcare for you. We arrange everything from intake and matching to guidance and financial processing, including support with the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). With a trial period of two months, you can get to know the childminder (gastouder) at your own pace.
