Host parent agency or child center

Registration Gastouderbureau or child center 

If you want to start a host parent agency or child center, you must register with the municipality. This is because you must be included in the National Register of Childcare and Nurseries. Without this registration, the parents of the children you care for will not be eligible for childcare benefits.

Hole does it work?

It is the task of the host parent agency to apply for the registration of host parents with the municipality. Anyone wishing to become a guest parent should therefore apply to a guest parent agency. Changes in your registration details must be reported to the municipality.

What to do

You can apply using the application forms on the website of the Rijksoverheid which are made available by the Minister of SZW. The GGD will check your application. Only if the GGD gives a positive assessment can the municipality enroll you in the register. The municipality will notify you as soon as you are enrolled.
