Jenny's Gastouderbureau

Parents can receive childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) for both the childminder (gastouder) childcare and the bureau costs. The government reimburses a certain percentage of a maximum hourly rate of €6.52 per hour per child (2022). This percentage depends on the joint annual income of the parents. Jenny's Gastouderbureau offers support with applying for the benefit and informs parents about current schemes.

The monthly costs consist of bureau fees and childminder (gastouder) compensation. Bureau fees start from €30 per month for 1 child, with no registration fees. Childminders charge on average €5.00 to €7.00 per child per hour for childcare at their own location. For childcare in the parent's home, at least the statutory minimum wage per hour is charged. The notice period is one month. With few hours used, the bureau fees can be reduced.

Childminders (gastouders) at Jenny's Gastouderbureau undergo thorough screening. They must have demonstrable experience working with children and be able to offer continuity and stability. The screening includes risk assessment at the childcare location, registration with the municipality, and registration in the persons register. Childminders must meet statutory expertise requirements and additional bureau conditions, including liability insurance (WA-verzekering) and professional conduct.

Jenny's Gastouderbureau is a recognised and registered childminder bureau (gastouderbureau) with LRK number 759950258. The bureau meets all legal requirements for childminder bureaus and is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang). Childminders (gastouders) are liability insured (WA-verzekerd) and undergo continuous screening. In case of negative reports, childminders are immediately suspended. The bureau maintains strict quality standards and provides transparent inspection reports from the Municipal Health Service (GGD).
