About this childminding agency
Childminder agency (gastouderbureau) KINOP is a family business with 28 years of experience in matching and supporting childminder (gastouder) care and in-home nanny care. We provide the kind of care we would want for our own children: homely, familiar, and with attention to development and quality. Our placement advisors find a childminder (gastouder) who suits your wishes, vision, and family situation. We work in and around Nijmegen, Arnhem, Doetinchem, Hilversum, Den Bosch and Haarlemmermeer, including Boxtel. The preliminary process (intake, search and introduction) is free of charge; you only pay once care actually begins.

For parents
At KINOP, we believe it's important that parents can relax knowing their child is in good hands. We mediate between parents and qualified childminders (gastouders) or nannies, and guide this match throughout the entire care period. Our services include a personal intake, finding a suitable childminder, and ongoing support. Parents always have a fixed contact person at our agency and can count on transparent communication about all practical and financial matters.
Subsidy & costs
Parents are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) for childminder care (gastouderopvang) with KINOP. We ensure that the benefit is always processed safely by using a third-party funds account. This structure offers financial security for both parents and childminders. Our administration system Mijn KINOP 2.0 supports transparent invoicing where care hours and mediation costs are billed separately, which simplifies the benefit application.
At KINOP, you only pay once care actually starts. The preliminary process (intake, search and introduction) is free of charge. Parents receive two separate invoices monthly: one for mediation costs (fixed amount) and one for care costs (based on actual hours worked). Payment can be made via iDEAL or direct debit. With iDEAL payment, the childminder is paid within 24 hours; with direct debit, within 7 working days. The mediation costs are debited around the 25th of the month.
Trust & screening
Our screening process for childminders (gastouders) and nannies is thorough and multi-layered. We check the background of every candidate, where they come from and how they have been shaped. All childminders must be at least 18 years old, physically and mentally healthy, and have experience with children through study, work or their own parenting. We only select childminders to whom we would also send our own children. After selection, we continue to safeguard quality through regular evaluation conversations and pedagogical support via workshops.
KINOP meets all legal requirements for childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus). Our childminders must meet strict criteria: a clean and safe home, experience with baby care, a pedagogical diploma, first aid certificate and a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). We carry out unannounced home visits to childminders and publish our GGD reports on our website. All payments go through a secure third-party funds account, and both childminders and families are insured against damage during care. Our LRKP number is 283816442 for the head office and 213760289 for the Den Bosch region.

Mission & vision
KINOP is a family business with a big heart for children. Our mission is to relieve parents as much as possible through excellent service while maintaining high standards for our childminders (gastouders) and nannies. We want to create a safe, caring and stimulating environment for children where they can develop to their fullest potential. Central to our approach are experiencing emotional security, developing personal and social competencies, and the transmission of values and norms.
Pedagogical vision
Our pedagogical practice is based on the educational theory of Riksen-Walraven, with four educational goals: providing a sense of emotional security, offering opportunities to develop personal competencies, offering opportunities for social competencies, and the chance to internalise norms and values. These goals are implemented through childminder-child interaction, the physical environment, the social environment and the activity programme. We provide care in a small-scale setting of a maximum of five children, with one consistent, familiar face ensuring continuity, a sense of security and quality.

GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: October 6, 2026
Strengths
- The pedagogical policy is clearly documented and is systematically discussed and observed during home visits
- The digital administration and planning module ensures timely execution of annual home visits and risk assessments
- Parents have access to current risk assessments via a digital portal
- Childminders receive good guidance in developing their pedagogical work plan and receive at least two home visits per year
- The training offering is diverse, including training courses, workshops, peer supervision (intervisie), and webinars
Shortcomings
- The pedagogical policy plan does not contain a concrete section on how it is made available to childminders (provider will address this with head office)
- The provider does not yet hold a suitable qualification for the role of pedagogical policy officer; a transition period applies until 1 July 2027
- The new statutory requirements effective 1 July 2026 (3 hours of coaching, 7 hours of continuous professional development) are not yet being assessed; implementation will follow in 2027
Violations
- At one affiliated childminder, the risk assessment could not be located (resolved through recovery offer)
- In 5 other inspections at affiliated childminders, violations were also identified that were resolved through recovery offers within the inspection period
Summary
GGD Hart voor Brabant conducted an annual inspection on 6 October 2026 at childminder agency (gastouderbureau) Kinop Boxtel in Rosmalen, on behalf of the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch. The agency is an independent franchise of KINOP Bureau voor Kinderopvang, providing care for 69 children from 37 families with 20 childminders. The inspection assessed four main areas: pedagogical policy, staff, safety and health, and childminder agency quality and duty of care. The provider meets the statutory quality requirements in all areas. Several points for attention were identified, including a missing concrete section on how the pedagogical policy plan is made available to childminders, and the fact that the provider does not yet hold a suitable qualification for the role of pedagogical policy officer (for which a transition period applies until 1 July 2027). One violation was identified at an affiliated childminder during the past period (childminder could not locate the risk assessment), which was resolved through a recovery offer. In total, recovery offers were made in 6 of the 18 inspections conducted, with the violations resolved within the inspection period. The advice to the municipal executive is: no enforcement action.
