Childminder care (gastouderopvang) at De Admiraal offers small-scale, calm childcare with always the same familiar face. Research shows that children feel more at ease with a childminder (gastouder) than at a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) due to a safer and more relaxed feeling. Childminders can, thanks to the small scale, cater well to each individual child. The care hours are more flexible than at a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV), with possibilities for evening and weekend hours. Parents only pay for the hours they actually need.

Gastouderbureau De Admiraal is based in Heiloo and active in the surrounding municipalities in North Holland. The service area includes Heiloo, Castricum (including Bakkum and Limmen), Bergen (Bergen Binnen, Bergen aan Zee, Egmond aan Zee, Egmond aan den Hoef, Egmond Binnen), Uitgeest, Alkmaar (including Oudorp, Koedijk, Schermer, Graft-De Rijp) and Akersloot. For parents from other municipalities, possibilities can be discussed.

De Admiraal is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) for compliance with policy and quality requirements. Inspection reports can be viewed by parents via the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang). The bureau has a complaints procedure in accordance with the Healthcare Client Complaints Act (Wet Klachtrecht Cliënten Zorgsector) and holds 'Geschilvrij' (Dispute-Free) certificates for multiple years, meaning no disputes have been filed. There is a reporting code for child abuse and domestic violence, and the bureau works with a safety and health risk assessment that is carried out annually.
