Childminders
Childminding is a solution for many parents due to the small-scale and flexibility of the care. Childminding can take place at both the parent's and childminder's homes. For parents, it is very reassuring when their child is cared for in a safe and healthy environment. Because childminding is very flexible, many agreements can be tailored to the wishes of all parties in consultation with the childminder and the childminding agency.

The following offer is available:
- Exercise with children
- Fire safety
- Healthy food

Training to become a childminder
To get started as a childminder, you must meet certain conditions. For example, you must be in possession of a valid diploma, such as Helpende Zorg en Welzijn level 2.
If you do not yet have a suitable diploma, there are two shortened courses that you can follow:
- Diploma Route Rivor
With the diploma route you will work independently and take the exams on location. There are several locations available for this. To follow this course you need at least 400 hours of babysitting experience in the past 2 years, or at least 100 hours if you have children of your own. Because you work independently on this course, you have a lot of freedom in scheduling exams. You can complete the course within a few months, if desired. For more information, click here. - Chilminder route Deltion
The childminder route is an accelerated MBO course in Helping Care and Welfare, and is fully focused on working as a childminder. You attend a weekly online meeting of 1 to 2 half-days, and work on the modules yourself or with fellow students. In addition, you also do an internship with a recognized childminder for at least 1 day (8 hours) per week.
The exams are (partly) taken in Zwolle and partly online. This process is expected to take at least 4 to 5 months, excluding school holidays. In practice, this can take up to 6 to 7 months. For more information, click here.
The list below contains all the diplomas that qualify you to work as a childminder.
