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.

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.
