Gastouderbureau Bambini offers parents personal guidance in finding a suitable childminder (gastouder) for their children. The agency mediates between parents and childminders, ensuring a good match based on your specific wishes and needs. After the placement, the agency remains involved with support in practical, educational and financial matters.

Parents can count on transparent communication and professional guidance throughout the entire process, from the intake interview at home to the annual evaluation. The agency also helps with practical matters such as applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) and drawing up childcare agreements.

Gastouderbureau Bambini mediates across an extensive service area in East Groningen. The agency has childminders available in Winschoten and surrounding towns in the region. The mediation covers both urban and rural areas in this region.

Gastouderbureau Bambini meets all statutory quality requirements and is GGD-approved. The agency has drawn up a Quality Covenant and received a dispute-free certificate from the Childcare Disputes Committee in 2024. All childminders hold a pedagogical qualification, a valid first aid certificate for children and a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag).

The agency works with a Pedagogical Policy Plan and organises regular theme evenings for the professional development of childminders. Inspection reports are publicly accessible via the National Childcare Register.
