At Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje, we believe the child always comes first. We offer parents personal guidance in finding a childminder (gastouder) who suits their family situation and wishes. Childminder care (gastouderopvang) offers flexibility, small-scale care and a homely atmosphere for your child. Our childminders are qualified and registered, which means you are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). You will be assigned a dedicated placement coordinator per region who will guide you through all questions about the care. We maintain transparent rates with no hidden costs and offer support with applying for childcare benefit.

Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje is active in various parts of the Netherlands with regional branches and placement coordinators. We operate in multiple regions including Limburg (North, Central and South Limburg), Brabant (Central, West and South-East Brabant), South Holland (including Drechtsteden and Gouda region), Utrecht and Gelderland. Per region we have a fixed contact person who guides local childminders and parents. Our service area encompasses both large cities and smaller municipalities, with an extensive network of childminders.

Gastouderbureau Het Liefbeestje meets all statutory quality requirements for childcare. Our childminders (gastouders) are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and hold the required diplomas, first aid certificate and Certificate of Conduct (VOG). We are inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) at least once every 2 years, and all inspection reports are publicly available. The agency is affiliated with the Childcare Disputes Committee and holds 'dispute-free' certificates for all branches. We work together with the Tax and Customs Administration for transparent childcare benefit and have been active in the sector since 2008.
