De Gastoudercentrale

De Gastoudercentrale is an independent service organization supporting parents, childminders and childminding agencies throughout the Netherlands. Its online marketplace helps families find professional childcare nearby and enables childminders to be listed free of charge, making them easier for parents to discover. The organization also works with independent childminding agencies, providing shared services behind the scenes to help deliver better service at lower cost.

Its support covers more than matching families with care. De Gastoudercentrale offers guidance on mediation, administration, quality requirements, safety and health, along with a knowledgeable helpdesk for questions about childminding. It also provides financial support: payments from parents are processed securely through Stichting Derdengelden Gastouderopvang.

Opvangapp, part of De Gastoudercentrale, gives parents, childminders and agencies convenient access to their childcare administration and related information. Users can view their details online wherever they are. Through its marketplace, administrative tools and expert assistance, De Gastoudercentrale aims to make arranging and managing childminding care simpler for everyone involved.
