Nanny in het Noorden

Parents are eligible for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) when the nanny is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK). Nanny in het Noorden arranges this registration with the municipality after positive GGD advice. The QuickScan tool on the website gives an indication of net costs after subsidy for different income levels. The agency advises parents on the application procedure and required documents.

The costs for nanny childcare consist of an hourly rate for the nanny and an agency fee. The exact rate depends on the number of children, childcare hours and family income. The website features a QuickScan tool with which parents can receive a personal cost indication, including net costs after childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). The agency provides transparent insight into the cost structure and advises on financial aspects of the 'Services at Home' arrangement.

Nannies are carefully screened: they must have a pedagogical diploma and first aid certificate. The agency conducts interviews with candidates about their pedagogical vision and experience. After selection, reference checks, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) application and registration in the persons register follow. The GGD inspects the childcare location (parents' home) for safety and health, and assesses knowledge of the reporting code and pedagogical policy. Only after positive GGD advice and municipal registration can childcare begin.

Nanny in het Noorden meets all legal requirements for childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus). All nannies are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) after inspection by the GGD. The agency has its own LRK number (880423043) and inspection reports are publicly available. Nannies must hold a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), pedagogical diploma and first aid certificate. The agency carries out risk assessments at the childcare location and offers collective liability insurance for childminders (gastouders).
