At W-care, parents find flexible childminder care (gastouderopvang) in a homely atmosphere, with a maximum of 6 children per childminder. Care is available for children from 0 to 12 years old and can take place either at the childminder's home or at your own home (nanny care). You only pay for the reserved days and times, with no minimum hour requirement. Our digital administration makes invoices and annual statements easy to view. We offer a large selection of qualified childminders throughout Friesland and the north of the Netherlands.

W-care mediates childminders throughout the north of the Netherlands, with a strong focus on Friesland, Groningen, Overijssel and Drenthe. Our agency is based in Heerenveen and has a large offering of childminders in places such as Heerenveen, Sneek, Leeuwarden, Drachten, Wolvega and Gorredijk. Smaller villages in the region are also well accessible through our network. Is your town not listed? Contact us, as much is often possible.

W-care works in accordance with the statutory guidelines for childminder care (gastouderopvang) and is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK number: 170319738). Our agency holds the KNGO Quality Mark, which stands for quality and reliability. All childminders are visited at home by us and assessed as suitable based on intake interviews. We work exclusively with insured childminders and employ our own pedagogue for quality assurance and support. Our rates conform to the maximum hourly rates for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) set by the government.

Welkom-Kind Friesland offers parents small-scale, homely childminder care (gastouderopvang) spread throughout Friesland. The agency mediates between parents and carefully selected childminders, with attention to a good personal match. Parents can choose from two packages: a basic package if they have already found a childminder themselves, or a regular package where the agency actively searches. With both options, emergency care is available for continuity during illness or holiday.

The team of three mediation staff maintain regular contact with both childminders and parents and offer guidance during the matching process and throughout the care period. The agency is registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang), which means parents are entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).

Childminders are spread across the entire province, enabling the agency to help parents in various Frisian municipalities find suitable care close to home.
