At Gastouderbureau 4 Happy Kids, we ensure that the childcare perfectly matches your wishes and your child(ren)'s needs. As soon as you register with us, we'll create a search profile together. In this, we record your preferences such as childcare days, times, location and any specific wishes.
With this profile, we get straight to work. We first search our existing database for a childminder (gastouder) who suits your family. If no suitable childminder is available, we'll put your request out externally to reach childminders outside our database too. Our aim is to find safe, trusted and personal childcare that fits your family perfectly.
