For parents
ViaViela helps parents find a reliable childminder (gastouder) in their neighbourhood. The agency offers small-scale, tailor-made care with one-on-one attention for children in a home-like environment. Parents receive personal guidance from a dedicated contact person in their region, who supports them throughout the entire process from matching through to the care period. ViaViela ensures careful screening of childminders and provides extensive pedagogical support.
Subsidy & costs
Childminder care via ViaViela is formal care, which means that parents may be entitled to childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) if they meet the conditions. An important condition is that parents use a recognised childminder via a childminder agency that is registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK). ViaViela and all mediated childminders have an active LRK registration. Parents can calculate the amount of their benefit using the calculation tool on the website or request a personalised calculation from their contact person.
Childminder care via ViaViela consists of two components: an hourly rate for the childminder (on average €6.25 to €8.95 per child per hour) and a monthly agency fee for mediation and guidance. ViaViela uses an all-in rate with no registration costs. The agency fee depends on the number of care hours, number of children, and region. Parents only pay from the moment care actually starts. Childminder care is on average 20% cheaper than other forms of childcare. After deduction of childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag), net costs can come out at €0.50 per child per hour or more, depending on the personal situation.
Trust & screening
ViaViela carries out careful screening and selection of all childminders before they are presented to parents. Childminders must meet all legal requirements, including holding the necessary diplomas. The agency regularly checks whether the care location is safe and healthy and complies with all safety and hygiene regulations. ViaViela visits childminders annually for quality checks and provides ongoing education and pedagogical support.
ViaViela complies with all legal requirements for childminder agencies. All branches and childminders are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK).

Mission & vision
ViaViela believes in childminder (gastouder) care in a small-scale, home-like environment where building a secure attachment relationship with the child comes first. The agency strives to provide personal guidance for both parents and childminders, and invests heavily in the training and professional development of childminders. ViaViela is committed to quality in childminder care and has built a user-friendly online administrative system where every parent and childminder has their own personal environment.
Pedagogical vision
ViaViela's pedagogical vision is based on the four basic pedagogical goals of Prof. J.M.A. Riksen Walraven: providing emotional security, opportunities for personal competence, opportunities for social competence, and the transfer of values and norms. The agency translates these into three core values: secure attachment, attention to each child's individuality, and talent development. ViaViela supports childminders with theoretical deepening, workshops, online courses, a pedagogical work plan format, and a child tracking system called 'Dit ben ik!' ('This is me!').

Summary
Childminder agency (gastouderbureau) ViaViela Bibische van Zweeden in Julianadorp was inspected on 24 March 2026 by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Hollands Noorden.
