Based on this, they search for at least two suitable childminders for an introductory meeting. The agency stands for service and quality, with the slogan 'At home in the house' — your child should feel completely comfortable with their childminder. After the match, evaluations follow after 6 weeks and 3 months to ensure both you and your child are happy with the choice made.
