At the Gastoudercoöperatie you will find experienced childminders who provide professional childcare in a homely atmosphere. We mediate between parents and childminders and ensure a good match based on pedagogical vision and practical preferences. Parents only pay the agreed hourly rate to the childminder, with no additional agency fees. Our placement coordinators guide the entire process, from the initial introductory meeting to contract signing and beyond.

The Gastoudercoöperatie is based in Beverwijk. Parents can search for childminders in their area via our website. The exact service area depends on the locations of our affiliated childminders, who may be spread across various towns.

The Gastoudercoöperatie is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK number: 118706263) and falls under supervision of the Municipal Health Service (GGD). We have a parent committee where parents can contribute ideas on quality and policy. For complaints, we follow a clear procedure and are affiliated with the Childcare Disputes Committee. Our inspection reports are publicly available in the LRK.

At Kids@Home, we find the perfect match between your family and a registered childminder (gastouder). We offer two forms of care: at the childminder's home or at your own home through a live-in childminder. Our placement process starts with a no-obligation intake interview to map out your wishes. We then search for a suitable childminder in our database of more than 60 professionals. You only pay for the care hours you actually use and can make use of childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).

Kids@Home is a regional childminder agency (gastouderbureau) based in Gemonde, municipality of Sint-Michielsgestel. We operate as a small-scale agency in the region with a wide selection of experienced childminders. Parents can often find a childminder in their own village or city thanks to our extensive network of more than 60 affiliated childminders.

Kids@Home meets all legal requirements of the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang) and is regularly assessed by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). Our childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang/LRK) and hold the required diplomas, first aid certificate, and Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag). We are affiliated with the Childcare Sector Organisation (Brancheorganisatie Kinderopvang) and KNGO certified. Our quality assurance includes annual risk assessments, progress meetings, and an active parent committee.
