Providing child care
Do you want to start a child care center? Submit an application to the municipality. The municipality will arrange for registration in the National Childcare Register. The GGD checks whether you meet the quality requirements.
Always check if the zoning plan allows you to use your home or property as a daycare, out-of-school care or guest parent care. A preliminary consultation may be required.
Approach
Complete the application form registration as:
- You want to register a new holder in the national register or
- you as the holder want to register a new child care location.
Child care is not approved without this registration. Parents of the children you care for will then not receive child care benefits. Registration lets parents know that the childcare meets the quality requirements.
This is how you start a child care center:
- Apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG).
- Register your child care provider with the Child Care Disputes Committee.
- Register your organization with the municipality. Use the appropriate application form to do so:
Find out what you need to do if you want to start a childcare center. Do you want to start a guest parent agency? Then read the Step-by-step plan for starting a guest parent agency.
Do you have a daycare center and want to offer preschool education as well? Please indicate this with your application. There are stricter quality requirements for preschool education.
Does something change in your information? You must notify the municipality. Use the appropriate change form.
