Subsidy & costs
Parents are eligible for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) for both childminder care (gastouderopvang) and nanny care at Het Koningshofje. The benefit can be applied for via 'Mijn toeslagen' on the website of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration. The agency does not apply for the benefit on behalf of parents, but placement staff can answer questions. There is also the possibility that employers provide a subsidy as a secondary employment condition.
The rate for childminder care (gastouderopvang) consists of two parts: an hourly rate for the childminder (gastouder) and fixed monthly agency costs per family. For nanny services, the agency offers various contract forms, including in-home service for a maximum of 3 days without payroll tax obligations for parents, or full-week care with two nannies. The hourly rate for a nanny is between €13.50 and €18.00 per hour, depending on contract form, care hours, number of children and experience.
