Connected via agency
Rivierenkind has been mediating for many years to help you find a trusted professional childminder (gastouder) for your child. A major advantage of childminder care (gastouderopvang) is that there are no waiting lists. Matching a childminder to your family is a tailor-made process: we look not only at location, available days and times, but also at values, norms, and your vision on raising your child(ren). Our childminders offer your child a second home in a safe environment. The agency handles mediation, guidance, risk assessments, evaluations, and an online hour registration system for transparent cost insight.
Childminder agency (gastouderbureau) Rivierenkind is active in the Central Netherlands region and offers childminder care (gastouderopvang) in various municipalities in this region. The agency is based in Leerdam and operates from this location for placement in surrounding areas. Care can take place at the childminder's home or at the requesting parent's home, depending on the chosen form of childminder care.
Rivierenkind operates in accordance with legal requirements for childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus) and falls under supervision of the GGD Utrecht region. The agency has a pedagogical policy plan that is regularly reviewed and that childminders (gastouders) must be familiar with. There is a complaints procedure and child abuse protocol. The care locations are visited annually for a Risk Inventory Safety and Health, and randomly by the GGD. In addition, progress interviews are held with the childminder and the care is evaluated. The agency has a parent committee that represents parents and contributes ideas on policy.

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 13 April 2026 at childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) 't Lam in Culemborg shows a predominantly positive picture. The childminder, active since 2014 and placed through Rivierenkind, provides after-school care for two children aged 7 and 9. All examined aspects meet the legal requirements. However, a safety risk was identified: the glass partition wall in the living room was found to be single-pane glass, while the risk assessment stated it was safety glass. The childminder and the agency took immediate measures: chairs placed in front of the wall and protective film applied. The risk assessment will be updated following verification. The childminder has not yet arranged backup care (currently not mandatory due to the low number of children), but has been informed of the change effective 1 July 2026 when this will always become mandatory.
