Childminder care (gastouderopvang) at Gastouderbureau Westland is a small-scale, professional form of childcare, usually at the childminder's home, making the care environment very similar to a family home. This makes the transition easier, especially for young children. Care in the parent's own home is also possible. Childminders care for a maximum of six children aged 0-13 and offer flexible childcare options, including evening, night, and weekend care with some childminders. You book hours (not half-day sessions) and only pay for the agreed hours. Childminders are professionals: they hold a valid diploma, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), First Aid for Children certificate, and are registered in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).
