About this childminding agency
Oppasvoordeel.nl is a registered childminder agency (gastouderbureau) that connects parents seeking childcare with childminders (gastouders) who want to provide care. The agency is run by Monique and Wendy Karsten and is based in Tuitjenhorn. Oppasvoordeel.nl guides parents through the process of using a childminder and applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) with the Tax and Customs Administration. The agency maintains strict quality standards and carries out thorough screening of childminders, including a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag), risk assessment and pedagogical evaluation. Thanks to low overhead costs, Oppasvoordeel.nl can often offer parents greater financial advantage than other childminder agencies. The agency is registered in the National Childcare Register under number 129909294 and falls under the supervision of GGD Hollands Noorden.

Subsidy & costs
Oppasvoordeel.nl guides parents in applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) via www.toeslagen.nl. Parents are eligible if they work, study, follow an integration programme or have a reintegration programme. The agency can make a gross-net calculation for parents showing the distribution between childcare benefit and parental contribution. The allowance depends on household income, number of childcare hours, number of children and partner status. By registering childcare hours with Oppasvoordeel.nl, parents actually become eligible for the benefit.
Trust & screening
Oppasvoordeel.nl screens childminders (gastouders) according to fixed criteria before they are included in the register. The screening includes: Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag) for the childminder and all household members aged 18+, risk assessment of the childcare location for safety and health, first aid certificate for children, minimum MBO-2 Helping diploma or good childminding certificate, and assessment of pedagogical suitability. Childminders must meet requirements for play space (minimum 3.5 m² per child), separate sleeping space for children under 1.5 years, and a smoke-free childcare location.
Oppasvoordeel.nl is officially registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) under number 129909294 and falls under the supervision of GGD Hollands Noorden.

Mission & vision
Oppasvoordeel.nl holds quality in high regard. The agency is convinced that childminder care (gastouderopvang) is a wonderful form of childcare with a warm, homely atmosphere and small-scale setting. The vision is that every child should feel safe and at home with their childminder (gastouder), so they have the opportunity to grow into an independent person with self-confidence and self-esteem. The agency sees it as essential that children are able to develop in their own way and at their own pace in a safe environment.
Pedagogical vision
The pedagogical policy of Oppasvoordeel.nl focuses on security, emotional safety and personal development. Children must be able to be themselves in a familiar environment where they can develop at their own pace. The policy emphasizes four areas of development: emotional development, physical development, intellectual development and social competence. Childminders (gastouders) are trained to guide children in their development with attention to norms, values and individual needs.

Summary
On 29 April 2026, GGD Hollands Noorden conducted an annual inspection at childminder agency Oppasvoordeel.nl in Tuitjenhorn, municipality of Schagen. The agency places children at 2 childcare locations with 17 registered children. Initially, not all requirements were met due to a shortcoming regarding the duty to report, consult, and file charges (MOA). The holders had not sufficiently brought the MOA to the attention of childminders, and it was missing from the agreement form. Following a recovery offer, the form was amended and the MOA was discussed with a childminder, after which compliance was achieved. Other areas (pedagogical policy, personnel, safety and health, reporting protocol) were in order. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
