Gastouderland Midden Limburg helps parents find suitable childminder care (gastouderopvang) in the Midden-Limburg region. We offer a no-obligation intake with no registration fees, during which we map out your wishes and search for a suitable childminder (gastouder) or childminder at home. Our consultant Yvonne personally guides you through the entire process.
We work with quality childminders who meet all legal requirements, including diplomas, Paediatric First Aid (Kinder-EHBO) and Certificate of Conduct (VOG). Our childminders work with the early childhood education programme AAP! for your child's development. You only pay for the actual childcare hours and agency fees, and we offer support with applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).
Gastouderland Midden Limburg operates throughout the entire Midden-Limburg region. We have childminders in various places in the region, including Roermond, Weert, Echt, Heythuysen, Haelen, Horn, Maasbracht, Swalmen and many other municipalities. Our consultant is personally involved and lives in the region, ensuring short lines of communication and local knowledge.
For parents living on the edge of Midden-Limburg or working towards the south, we also collaborate with Gastouderland Zuid-Limburg for childminders in places such as Maastricht, Sittard, Geleen and Kerkrade.
Gastouderland Midden Limburg meets all legal requirements of the Childcare Act. All childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and have the required diplomas, Paediatric First Aid (Kinder-EHBO) certificate and Certificate of Conduct (VOG). Housemates and those regularly present also have a VOG.
The agency is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) and inspection reports are publicly accessible.
