At the Gastoudercoöperatie you will find experienced childminders who provide professional childcare in a homely atmosphere. We mediate between parents and childminders and ensure a good match based on pedagogical vision and practical preferences. Parents only pay the agreed hourly rate to the childminder, with no additional agency fees. Our placement coordinators guide the entire process, from the initial introductory meeting to contract signing and beyond.

The Gastoudercoöperatie is based in Beverwijk. Parents can search for childminders in their area via our website. The exact service area depends on the locations of our affiliated childminders, who may be spread across various towns.

The Gastoudercoöperatie is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK number: 118706263) and falls under supervision of the Municipal Health Service (GGD). We have a parent committee where parents can contribute ideas on quality and policy. For complaints, we follow a clear procedure and are affiliated with the Childcare Disputes Committee. Our inspection reports are publicly available in the LRK.
