At Korelon you are not a number, but a person! We strive to ensure your child can stay with the same childminder (gastouder) for as long as possible, preferably for all the years that care is needed. We offer Christian childminders who are themselves Christian and live this out in their lives. Our staff are trained and can answer your questions, and we even have our own orthopedagogist for parenting questions and a health coach who advises on exercise and healthy nutrition. We have made BASIS agreements to ensure relationships remain good, with agreements about payment, illness, changes in care and house rules. Financially everything is well arranged with an online hours registration system, fixed direct debit dates and collective insurance.

Korelon is a national childminder agency (gastouderbureau) active in multiple provinces in the Netherlands. We offer childminder care (gastouderopvang) in Gelderland, Noord-Brabant, Overijssel, Utrecht, Zeeland and Zuid-Holland. Parents can search for available childminders (gastouders) in their region via our website by selecting province or postcode. We have a large network of Christian childminders spread across these provinces.

Korelon meets all legal requirements for childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus) and is inspected annually by the GGD (Municipal Health Service). We are affiliated with the Branchevereniging Kinderopvang (Childcare Industry Association) and the Geschillencommissie Kinderopvang en Peuterspeelzalen (Childcare and Preschool Disputes Committee). We have an internal complaints procedure and parents can submit complaints to the Disputes Committee. Our childminders (gastouders) are thoroughly screened with VOG (Certificate of Conduct) checks, diploma verification, first aid certification and risk assessments of care locations. We offer free accident insurance for childminders and guest children during care hours.

Je Beste Maatje mediates between parents and childminders for flexible, small-scale childcare in a homely environment. The bureau offers personal guidance in finding a suitable childminder and supports with all practical matters such as contracts and childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Parents can count on childminders who care for a maximum of 6 children, ensuring every child receives the attention they need. The bureau sets higher requirements for childminders than legally required and carries out inspections twice a year.

Je Beste Maatje operates nationally through a franchise formula with regional branches. The bureau has regional managers active in Utrecht, South Holland/The Hague, Nijmegen-Tiel, Maas en Peel, and Haarlem-Haarlemmermeer, among other areas. Parents can use the online childminder search tool to search by postcode for available childminders in their neighbourhood. The head office is located in Houten.

Gastouderbureau Je Beste Maatje is a childminder bureau recognised and registered by the municipality in the National Childcare and Preschool Register (LRKP). The GGD carries out annual inspections of both the bureau and the childminders regarding safety and health. The bureau itself carries out inspections at childminders' homes twice a year, with attention to safety, guidance and care. All childminders and adult family members must provide a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). The bureau works with the enhanced Reporting Code on Child Abuse and is affiliated with the Disputes Committee for complaint handling.
