For parents
Gastouderbureau Wikadie offers parents small-scale, flexible childcare in a homely atmosphere. The bureau selects qualified childminders (gastouders) who meet strict requirements, including LRK registration, a relevant diploma, up-to-date paediatric first aid, and 100% smoke-free childcare. Parents receive personal guidance in finding the right match and support with applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). The bureau works without registration fees and with transparent monthly bureau costs of €56 per family.
Subsidy & costs
Wikadie offers help with filling in and applying for childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) with the Tax Authorities. Parents are entitled to a reimbursement for childcare by registering with the childminder bureau (gastouderbureau). The bureau handles the application together with parents or does the trial calculation on the Tax Authorities' website. For the hourly rate in the application, parents must calculate the total monthly costs: (number of childcare hours x childminder hourly rate) + bureau costs (€56) = total monthly costs, divided by number of childcare hours = hourly rate for benefit application.
Gastouderbureau Wikadie charges no registration fees. The monthly mediation costs are €56 per month per family. In addition to these bureau costs, you pay the childminder's (gastouder) hourly rate, which is normally around €8 per hour and per child. The total monthly costs are calculated as follows: (number of childcare hours x childminder hourly rate) + €56 bureau costs. Parents can reduce costs through childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag).
Trust & screening
All Wikadie childminders (gastouders) must meet strict requirements and are checked twice a year. Childminders (gastouders) must be qualified with LRK and Person Registration, a relevant diploma, and up-to-date paediatric first aid. All childminders (gastouders) are over 21 years old in order to bear the responsibility. The bureau only works with childminders (gastouders) who offer 100% smoke-free childcare.
