At Mare Childminder Agency, we help parents find the perfect childminder for their family. We understand how important it is to find a childminder who meets your wishes and requirements. Our experienced team of professionals strives to help parents find a childminder who surrounds children with love and care, while at the same time stimulating their development. We offer support throughout the entire process, from matching to administration and childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).

Mare Childminder Agency operates nationally with regional placement coordinators spread throughout the Netherlands. The agency has coordinators for Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe, Gelderland and Overijssel, North Holland and North South Holland, Haaglanden, Brabant, Limburg and Zeeland, Utrecht and Gelderland, and South Holland. This regional approach ensures personal contact and local knowledge.

All childminders have a Certificate of Good Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag/VOG) and are properly linked in the Childcare Persons Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang/PRK).

Kinderoase offers childminder care (gastouderopvang) in the Zuid-Holland Zuid region.

The agency is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) and operates according to the Childcare Act.

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.
