For parents
At Gastouderbureau Roodkapje, parents find reliable, small-scale childcare in a homely environment. You will be assigned a personal consultant who guides you in finding a suitable childminder (gastouder). Our childminders are certified and registered, offering flexible care at times that fit your work and lifestyle.
We support you with all practical matters such as applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) and offer pedagogical support through our helpdesk. With our national network of consultants, you will always find a childminder in your neighbourhood.
Subsidy & costs
Parents using a registered childminder (gastouder) through Roodkapje can apply for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). We help you apply for and modify the benefit through our benefit coach. The benefit is calculated against a maximum hourly rate set annually by the government.
Our consultants can make a personal calculation based on your situation. We also offer support with objection procedures and have a team of legal and tax experts for complex questions.
The costs for childminder (gastouder) care consist of two parts: the childminder's hourly rate and the agency fees. Childminders set their own hourly rate, usually around the maximum benefit rate set by the tax authorities. The agency fee is €0.85 per care hour with a minimum of €30 and maximum of €100 per month.
Roodkapje charges no registration fees. You can request a no-obligation meeting for a personal calculation based on your situation. The agency fees can be paid by either the childminder or the parent; childminders can claim these costs as a tax deduction.
Trust & screening
Childminders (gastouders) at Roodkapje undergo careful screening and training. They must meet legal requirements including a Certificate of Conduct (VOG). During the training programme, they are guided towards registration in the National Childcare Register.
After registration, childminders are visited at least twice a year by their personal consultant. An annual evaluation meeting takes place with both childminder and parent. Childminders follow mandatory refresher training on child abuse reporting protocols, pedagogical work plans, fire safety, and healthy childcare.
Roodkapje meets all legal requirements for childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus). All childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and meet government quality standards. We conduct annual municipal health service (GGD) inspections, with all locations achieving the quality mark.
Our consultants are qualified pedagogical policy staff and visit childminders at least twice a year. The safety of care locations is assessed annually through risk assessment. We are affiliated with the Brancheorganisatie Kinderopvang and KennisNetwerk GastouderOpvang (KNGO).
