At Gastouderbureau Kidko, we find personal contact incredibly important. We mediate between parents and childminders for flexible childcare for children from 0 to 13 years, both at the childminder's home and at your home through our nanny service. Our team of nine employees is ready with expert advice, quick communication and guidance that suits your situation.

We check whether the childcare meets the requirements of the Childcare Act (Wet Kinderopvang) and take care of the complete hours administration for the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). With more than 130 childminders in four provinces, we often have a suitable match in your region. You can also register with us together with an existing childminder (such as a grandparent, friend or neighbour).

Gastouderbureau Kidko operates in four provinces: Zuid-Holland, Utrecht, Noord-Brabant and West-Gelderland. The bureau was started more than 14 years ago in Alblasserdam and has grown to become the largest childminder bureau in the Drechtsteden region. With more than 130 childminders spread across these regions, we can provide parents in a large area with suitable childcare. For questions about possibilities outside these regions, please contact us.
