At Berend Botje Gastouderbureau, we believe it's important that you and your childminder (gastouder) are a good match. Our placement staff know all childminders personally and also visit your home for an intake interview. We offer two packages: the comfort package where we arrange everything from finding a childminder to the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), and the basic package where you find a childminder yourself. We provide annual risk assessments, pedagogical advice, collective insurance, and access to our online portal where you can view invoices, childcare hours, and policy documents.
Berend Botje Gastouderbureau is active in Noord-Holland and West-Friesland. We have childminders in various places in the region, including Hoorn, Enkhuizen, Medemblik, Andijk, and many other villages and towns. Our placement staff are active regionally and know the childminder database in their area personally. We strive to find every parent a childminder located close to home or work.
Berend Botje Gastouderbureau meets all legal requirements and is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang). We set higher standards for our childminders than the Childcare Act prescribes, including mandatory basic training, a first aid certificate for children, and Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) declarations. We carry out annual risk assessments at childminders' locations and have taken out collective liability and accident insurance. Our GGD inspection reports are publicly accessible, and we work with a recognised reporting code for domestic violence and child abuse.

Summary
Childminder Ms. L.F. van Veen-Kerkhoff in Bovenkarspel, registered with childminder agency Berend Botje, underwent an unannounced annual inspection by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Hollands Noorden on 19 February 2026. The childminder provides care for a maximum of 6 children aged 2 to 7 years. Initially, violations were identified regarding safety and health: the risk inventory was insufficiently tailored to the location, chargers with loose cables were plugged into a living room socket, and the garden had not been registered as an unused space during the winter period. Following a recovery offer, the childminder took corrective action within the set timeframe: the chargers were removed, the risk inventory was updated with specific arrangements for garden use in winter, and the documentation was revised. As a result, all requirements are now met. Other aspects such as pedagogical climate, group composition, backup care, and the child abuse reporting code complied with requirements from the outset.
