Wiersma, A.

At Gastouderbureau Tiko, we find a reliable childminder (gastouder) for your child in a homely environment. We look for a childminder who suits your family, taking your parenting style and beliefs into account. Once we find a suitable match, we arrange a no-obligation introductory meeting at the childminder's home.

You can also bring your own childminder to Tiko, such as an acquaintance, neighbour or family member, as long as they meet the legal requirements. We also offer in-home childcare, where the childminder comes to your home.

Gastouderbureau Tiko is active in the municipalities of Achtkarspelen and Noardeast-Fryslân and surrounding areas. We mediate childminders in this region for small-scale childcare close to home. Our childminders are spread across various locations in Friesland, enabling us to find a childminder nearby for most parents.

Our childminder agency stands for quality and meets all legal requirements. We maintain a policy that ensures the safety and health of the children in our care is safeguarded as much as possible. Childminders are visited at least twice a year for risk assessment and progress meetings.

We have internal and external complaints procedures and are transparent about GGD inspection reports. Parents can view the inspection reports of our childminder agency and our childminders via the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang).

Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis offers parents in Friesland the option of flexible, small-scale childminder care (gastouderopvang) for children from 10 weeks to 13 years old. Parents can choose care at the childminder's home or possibly in their own home (nanny service). A special option is the possibility to register grandpa or grandma as a recognised childminder (gastouder), so that parents can benefit from childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) while their child is cared for in a familiar setting by family. The agency provides customised matching, looking not only at practical matters but also at alignment in norms, values, and parenting philosophy.

Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis provides childminder care (gastouderopvang) throughout Friesland. The agency has a broad network of childminders spread across the entire province, allowing parents in various Frisian municipalities and towns to make use of the services. The agency is based in Burgum but places childminders throughout Friesland.

Gastouderbureau Kind aan Huis is a government-recognised and registered childminder agency (LRK 232661960) that is inspected annually by GGD Fryslân. The agency must meet all legal requirements of the Childcare Act and is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang). All inspection reports are publicly available via the website. The agency has a pedagogical policy, domestic violence and child abuse protocol, complaints procedure, and maintains a parent committee as legally required.
