Gastoudercollectief KIND helps parents find a natural green childminder that matches their home environment. More and more parents are consciously choosing a childminder who embraces the principles of natural and unconditional parenting. Childminding feels like a second home where your child is lovingly welcomed into the childminder's family life. In this small-scale, calm yet challenging environment, your child can develop optimally. There is one consistent caregiver, which creates a bond of trust. The agency only arranges introductory meetings with childminders who are a perfect match for your wishes, and you ultimately decide which childminder cares for your child.

Gastoudercollectief KIND works with childminders spread across the Netherlands, with a focus on the North. The current childminder profiles show that the agency is active in various regions including Friesland (Leeuwarden, Hurdegaryp), South Holland (Oud-Beijerland, Mijnsheerenland), and Groningen (Ter Apel). The agency mediates childminders in both urban and rural areas.

Gastoudercollectief KIND is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) of the municipality of Leeuwarden and is inspected annually by GGD Fryslân. The agency has a current inspection report available on its website. KIND is affiliated with the Disputes Committee (De Geschillencommissie) for complaint handling and has a parent committee that represents the interests of parents. All childminders meet legal requirements including Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG-verklaringen), first aid certificates (EHBO-certificaten), and training requirements. The agency works with protocols for safety, health, medication administration, and other quality aspects.
