About this childminding agency
Gastouderbureau Thuiscreche.nl provides professional small-scale childcare in a homely atmosphere. As a childminder agency (gastouderbureau), we work together with passionate and professional childminders (gastouders/crèche leaders) who provide care in their own homes. Our goal is to be the best childminder agency, not the biggest. We offer parents a unique concept with groups of maximum 6 children, ensuring each child receives personal attention. Through our franchise formula, we guarantee quality, expertise, and extensive behind-the-scenes support. Parents can use our calculation tool to work out net costs and have digital access to pedagogical policy via Mijnthuiscreche.nl.

For parents
At Thuiscreche.nl you will find small-scale childcare in a homely atmosphere. Our crèche leaders care for a maximum of 6 children in their own home, providing a familiar and safe feeling for your child. We offer professional, high-quality childcare comparable to a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV), but with one consistent caregiver. Through our childminder agency (gastouderbureau) you are assured of expert guidance and support, both for the childcare location and for you as a parent. You can use our calculation tool to work out the net costs and have digital access to all important documents.
Subsidy & costs
Parents may be eligible for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). The amount of this benefit depends on the joint income (test income) of the parents. We offer a calculation tool on our website with which you can calculate the net costs for childcare, including any benefit. For an accurate calculation you need: your joint income (to be calculated via the Tax and Customs Administration), the type of care (daycare or after-school care/BSO), the contract form (number of weeks per year) and the chosen Home Crèche. Our calculation tool gives an indication of the net costs for 2026.
At Thuiscreche.nl you pay no registration fees and there are no hidden costs. The rates are transparent and depend on the chosen Home Crèche and contract form. We offer an online calculation tool with which you can calculate the net costs, taking childcare benefit into account. Our rates are market-conforming — we are not a price fighter but neither do we belong to the most expensive forms of childcare. You get value for your money: professional small-scale childcare of high quality in a homely atmosphere. Exact rates are determined in consultation with the crèche leader.
Trust & screening
All childminders (crèche leaders) are carefully screened before joining our network. The holder of the childminder agency has a valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and is registered in the childcare personnel register. Childminders undergo a screening in which their suitability for childcare is assessed. In addition, prospective childminders are guided in drawing up a work plan and receive support in meeting all legal requirements. Annual visits and evaluations ensure continuous quality monitoring.
Thuiscreche.nl is inspected annually by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on behalf of the municipality. All Home Crèches are checked before they open and thereafter annually. The inspection reports are publicly available via the National Childcare Register. Our childminder agency (gastouderbureau) has positive inspection results and meets all legal requirements. We work with a reporting code for domestic violence and child abuse that is digitally accessible to childminders. Risk inventories for safety and health are carried out annually and discussed with childminders.
