Childminder care (gastouderopvang) at Hoppas is 'your second home' — personal childcare in a homely atmosphere with the same, familiar face every day. This small-scale care offers flexibility in hours and is often available close to home. Children enjoy playing and discovering together in a small group of maximum 6 children.
Our childminders (gastouders) are flexible and provide bespoke care tailored to your needs. The childminder agency (gastouderbureau) handles the administrative matters and supports both childminders and parents. For care from 20 hours per week, childminder care is generally more affordable than a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV).
Hoppas childminder care (gastouderopvang) operates in the Land van Heusden and Altena region. We are the largest childminder agency in Altena and have childminders spread across various locations in the region. Almost always there is a childminder available nearby, enabling flexible and local childcare.
Hoppas safeguards quality through active supervision and regular inspections. Our childminders (gastouders) are guided by the placement agency and regularly inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD). All childminders work according to policy plans, protocols and in safe, approved environments.
As an active childminder agency, we maintain constant contact with our childminders and regularly visit them during care hours. All family members over 17 who may be present during care are screened through a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). Homes are inspected through Risk Assessment to meet safety requirements.
