Gastouderbureau CoCo offers parents a personal and flexible form of childcare in a homely atmosphere. Unlike daycare centers (kinderdagverblijven/KDV) or after-school care (BSO), childminder care (gastouderopvang) offers a small-scale and warm environment where your child is cared for by a regular childminder (gastouder). This creates a personal bond of trust in which your child feels safe. The care can be adapted to the number of hours you actually need, which can be financially advantageous in combination with childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).
