Gastouderbureau Jool offers parents a personal and reliable route to suitable childminder care (gastouderopvang). The bureau takes the full administrative burden off parents' hands, arranges payments between parents and childminders, and ensures professional guidance for both childminders and parents. Parents receive support in finding a childminder who fits their wishes and family situation, through a careful matching process that begins with a personal intake interview at home.

Gastouderbureau Jool is active in the northern provinces of the Netherlands. The bureau has its roots in Friesland, where founder Alina van der Heide lives in Drachten. Childminders in this region can always turn to the bureau for questions and support.

Gastouderbureau Jool is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) and is inspected annually by GGD Fryslân. The bureau carries out risk assessments at all childminders and these are available for parents to view. There is an active parent committee that advises on pedagogical policy, quality, safety and prices. The bureau has a complaints procedure and privacy policy in accordance with legal requirements.

Gastouderbureau Piekeboe helps parents in the north of the Netherlands find small-scale care that suits their family. Childminder care (gastouderopvang) is professional childcare in a homely setting, where your child is cared for by a registered childminder (gastouder) at the childminder's home or at your own home. This provides calm, structure and personal attention. Children experience fewer stimuli and are more energised at the end of the day. The agency carefully guides and monitors to ensure quality and safety are always guaranteed.
