Gastouderbureau De Kleine Generaal is based in Meppel and active in the surrounding region.

Our small-scale approach and personal style make us well-suited for families in Meppel and the surrounding areas.
As a registered childminder bureau, we supervise childminder care to ensure quality, safety and hygiene. We carry out quality checks at care locations, keep childminders' knowledge up to date through courses, and verify that the maximum number of children is not exceeded. Childminders who fail to comply with government regulations can lose their LRKP registration, meaning parents would no longer be entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Our GGD inspection reports are publicly accessible via the National Childcare Register.
