At Kinderopvang Mathil, we believe it is important that childcare is pleasant and well-arranged when parents are at work. Our childminder agency (gastouderbureau) offers small-scale care in a homely atmosphere, where a maximum of 6 children are present at any one time. Parents can make their own arrangements with the childminder (gastouder) regarding care days and hours, making childminder care the most flexible form of childcare available. Just like with regular daycare, parents are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).
