Gastouderbureau Samen offers a safe and trusted environment for your child(ren), whether at the childminder's or at your home. We understand that it can be nerve-wracking to take your child to a childminder (gastouder). That is why we take these worries off your hands. Together with you, we look at your family situation and care needs, after which we search for a childminder who matches your requirements. Our childminders play an essential role in the family life of parents, as they are responsible for the care of the children. Childminder care is professional and flexible, with always the same familiar faces.

Gastouderbureau Samen is active in an extensive service area spread across all of Northeast Netherlands. We bring parents and childminders together in a personal and professional manner for small-scale care – familiar, close by and tailored to everyone's wishes. Wherever you live, we are nearby. At Gastouderbureau Samen, a trusted and safe care environment is central. We believe in small-scale care, personal attention and the power of local connection.
