For parents
Hoera Gastouderopvang offers parents the option of small-scale, home-based childcare with a childminder (gastouder). With more than 30 years of experience in childcare, Hoera provides trusted mediation between parents seeking care and qualified childminders. You can choose care that suits your personal situation, with maximum flexibility in times and location. The agency works with two placement coordinators who personally guide you in finding a suitable childminder and making all practical arrangements.
Subsidy & costs
Parents can apply for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) for childminder care at Hoera. All Hoera childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK), which is a condition for receiving benefit. The childminder's hourly rate usually stays below the €8.10 limit (2025), so parents can reclaim a large portion of the costs via www.toeslagen.nl. Hoera offers an online calculation tool on their website where parents can calculate their net costs, and placement coordinators can prepare a no-obligation quote.
The costs for childminder care at Hoera consist of monthly agency fees and an hourly rate paid to the childminder. The agency fees are €49.50 for placement of 1 child or €69.50 for 2 or more children. Existing clients of Hoera childcare centres receive a discount: €42 for 1 child or €57.50 for 2 or more children. The hourly rate is set by the childminder themselves and usually falls below the benefit limit. Special combination rates apply for after-school care (BSO) on Wednesday/Friday. Hoera offers an online calculation tool to work out net costs.
Trust & screening
Hoera carries out thorough screening of new childminders. This includes a home visit where the childcare location is checked for safety and suitability, including a Risk Assessment and Evaluation (RIE). The childminder's educational background and parenting ideas are discussed. Only if both the location and the childminder meet all requirements, and the childminder is willing to work with Hoera, are they included in the database. Childminders must meet pedagogical quality requirements, safety standards for the environment, and personal suitability criteria.
Hoera Gastouderopvang is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK number 737818669) and holds a municipal permit following inspection by the GGD (Municipal Health Service). All Hoera childminders are also registered in the LRK, which means their childcare locations have been approved by the GGD and meet all legal requirements. This registration is essential for parents to qualify for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). The agency carries out annual inspection visits to childminders and ensures continuous training for all childminders.
