Gastouderbureau Kwest offers small-scale, personal childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years at professional childminders' (gastouders') homes. It feels like coming home: playing together in the living room, doing crafts at the kitchen table, or enjoying time outside in the garden. Our childminders (gastouders) offer tailored care that matches your family's wishes and rhythm. With childminders (gastouders) in almost every village centre in Westland, there is always care nearby. We do more than just matchmaking: we personally guide our childminders (gastouders), organise joint activities, and ensure a good match between parent and childminder (gastouder).

Gastouderbureau Kwest is active in the municipality of Westland. With childminders (gastouders) in almost every village centre in Westland, there is always care nearby, whether you live or work in 's-Gravenzande, Naaldwijk, Monster, De Lier, Maasdijk, Honselersdijk, or Kwintsheul.

Gastouderbureau Kwest meets all legal quality requirements for childcare. All childminders (gastouders) are registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK number: 256894425) and meet strict requirements: they have the right diplomas (minimum MBO level 2), a valid Certificate of Good Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag/VOG), and a paediatric first aid certificate. We carry out annual safety checks at the childcare locations and work according to the pedagogical policy of Stichting Kwest. Inspection reports are publicly accessible via the National Childcare Register.

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).
