Why parents choose Be Kind

Be Kind Gastouderservice is based in Amsterdam and offers childminding services. We select our childminders with the utmost care. We prioritise quality above quantity. We believe in personal contact with parents and our childminders.

Personcal care

We listen and take your wishes and preferences seriously. Thanks to our years of experience, we can find the perfect match. The care given to your child is monitored and evaluated.

Reliable

Be Kind is financially healthy. We are an approved agency, and are inspected by the Public Health Service of Amsterdam (GGD) annually. Our childminders comply with the statutory requirements and our own additional screening protocol.

It’s all about the child

Your child’s welfare is the primary focus of our services. Our pedagogical policy, which is followed by our childminders, describes how your child’s care is safeguarded.

Agency fees

The cost structure of our childminding services: the monthly fee for your childminder(s) (the number of hours multiplied by the hourly rate), plus the monthly agency fee for Be Kind Gastouderservice.

What do the agency fees cover?
We ensure that Be Kind Gastouderservice and our childminders comply with the requirements of the Dutch Childcare Act.
We mediate between the parent(s) and the childminder(s) during the entire care period.
We arrange the invoicing and payments to the childminders.

In other words, we are also accountable for providing responsible childcare and maintaining correct administrative records.

CHILDMINDER

I have worked as a childminder at Be Kind since 2013. In my role as a childminder(s) and an entrepreneur, I feel a strong sense of support in all aspects of childminding. This includes training, personal contact, advice on pedagogical issues and business aspects. The quality offered by Be Kind matches the vision of my own company Littleguesthouse. Together we represent high quality and loving childcare.

All the childminders at Be Kind are incredibly involved and professional. Be Kind thinks with parents from their perspective and offers solutions. Contact is always smooth and positive! Be Kind really has the best interests of everyone at heart. Be Kind always listens to your concerns as a parent and takes you seriously. That’s so positive! As a member of the parents’ committee, I look behind the scenes and am asked to contribute to policy amendments, for example.
