We offer bespoke childminder care (gastouderopvang) for your child, taking into account your specific wishes regarding upbringing, location and hours. Our childminders (gastouders) care for children in a small, home-based setting with a maximum of six children per childminder. We also mediate in-home babysitting for families who prefer childcare in their own home.

As a recognised childminder agency (gastouderbureau), we ensure that you qualify for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). We carefully select our childminders (gastouders) and they are all first aid certified and hold a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag). Your child will be cared for in a safe and nurturing environment.

Our childminder agency (gastouderbureau) is based in Woerden. We mediate childminder care (gastouderopvang) in the Utrecht region, with childminders (gastouders) spread across various locations in the area. Parents can come to us for care at a childminder's home or for in-home babysitting in their own neighbourhood.

Gastouderbureau 't Groene Hart is recognised and registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) under number 119931758. We comply with all statutory quality requirements and are inspected annually by the GGD Utrecht region. Childminders (gastouders) are inspected by the GGD on average once every two years.

We carry out annual risk assessments at childminders' (gastouders') homes to ensure safety and health. All childminders (gastouders) are required to be first aid certified and hold a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag). We are affiliated with a disputes committee for handling any complaints.

At Kind&co ludens you will find small-scale childminder (gastouder) care in a homely atmosphere, where a maximum of six children are cared for per childminder. This ensures plenty of individual attention and a calm environment. The childminders work according to the Pedagogical Heart of Kind&co ludens and are supported by fixed contact persons from the agency. Parents can easily contact the childminder for personal handovers and can discuss changing times and days by arrangement. The agency mediates between parents and childminders and remains involved throughout the entire care period.

Kind&co ludens has childminders in many municipalities in central Netherlands. Parents can find childminders in their area via the location finder on the website. The service office is located in Houten, but childminders are spread across various places in the region.
