For parents
At Kinderopvang Thuis, we understand that you don't just leave your child's care with anyone. That's why we start with a personal intake to get to know you, your child and your wishes. We are an independent childminder agency (gastouderbureau) in Tilburg that advises you without obligation on the best solution for your child(ren)'s care. You get a fixed contact person you can always turn to with questions and for advice. As part of Xpect013, we deliver high-quality childminder care (gastouderopvang) every day.
Subsidy & costs
Many parents are eligible for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Depending on your income, you will receive part of the care costs back via the Tax and Customs Administration. This happens monthly, prior to each month. The hourly rate of €8.68 (2026) per child is a gross rate on which your benefit is calculated. With our calculation tool on the website, you can quickly and easily calculate what the monthly costs are and how much childcare benefit you may get back. For more information, you can also visit www.toeslagen.nl.
At Kinderopvang Thuis, we use a fixed hourly rate for clarity. The rate for 2026 is €8.68 per hour per child. The childminder receives €7.08 per hour (recommended rate, the childminder may deviate from this) and €1.60 is allocated to the childminder agency. You pay no registration fees or separate mediation or administration costs. As a parent, you only pay for the agreed care hours that you enter monthly in the childminder portal. Together with the childminder, you can also make mutual arrangements about additional costs such as lunch, a hot meal or nappies.
Trust & screening
Our screening process for childminders is thorough and meets legal requirements. New childminders must have at least a level 2 MBO qualification, hold a paediatric first aid certificate, and have a valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG). Housemates and regular visitors over 18 must also have a VOG. Childminders are registered in the Childcare Personnel Register for continuous screening. The home is checked for safety, hygiene and suitability. After approval by the GGD and registration in the National Childcare Register, the childminder can start. Childminders follow 7 hours of training annually and receive 3 hours of pedagogical coaching.
Kinderopvang Thuis is a recognised childminder agency (gastouderbureau) that falls under Xpect013. All childminders are qualified and meet strict requirements: they have a relevant diploma, paediatric first aid, a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and are registered in the Childcare Personnel Register. The childminder's home must meet safety and hygiene requirements. We carry out periodic inspections at childminders and the childminder agency itself is also monitored by the GGD (Municipal Health Service). Parents are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) when their child is placed with a qualified childminder.

Mission & vision
Kinderopvang Thuis believes that every child deserves a promising start, regardless of their background. As part of Xpect013, we are committed to providing childcare that meets the needs of both children and parents. Our mission is to offer personal, homely and small-scale childminder (gastouder) care where a sense of home is central. We believe that children develop best in a safe, loving and warm environment where they can be themselves and discover the world through play.
Pedagogical vision
Our pedagogical policy is based on the four basic pedagogical objectives from the Childcare Act. We focus on emotional security, development of personal competence, development of social competence, and the transfer of norms and values. Childminders (gastouders) offer children a place where they feel at home, with calm, regularity and personal attention. The small-scale nature of the care makes it possible to build a close bond, so that children feel seen and secure. We encourage development by challenging children and letting them learn through play.

Summary
Childminder Bureau Kinderopvang Thuis in Tilburg was inspected on 26 August 2026 by GGD Hart voor Brabant. The organisation, part of Xpect013 B.V., provides placement services for 70 children with 22 childminders. The bureau meets the requirements for pedagogical policy and personnel. There were initially shortcomings regarding parental rights and childminder bureau quality, for which a recovery offer was made. The 2025 annual complaints report was missing a complaint about the childminder bureau itself, and the annual evaluation with requesting parents was insufficient because an anonymous survey did not provide a personal evaluation. Both points have been resolved: there is now a separate annual complaints report and a plan for personal evaluations with requesting parents. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
