Out-of-school care rates.

• The government rate for out-of-school care is € 9.98 per hour. This is the amount used to calculate the childcare allowance from the Tax Authorities.
• Additional childcare is possible, but depends on staff scheduling and the relevant legislation. This will be charged at the 40-week hourly rate.
• Some branches offer pre-school care. In some cases, this can only be purchased in combination with after-school care.
• The standard time for before-school childcare is from 7:30 to the start of school, and afterschool care is from the end of school until 18:30.
• Some branches offer early opening times or extended opening hours. This is only possible if there are sufficient children, a requires a separate contract.
• We offer drop-off and collection to and from the cooperating primary school. This may vary for each branch, usually on foot or by (cargo) bicycle. Sometimes we use a minibus taxi.

• On school closure days (days when the school closes outside the holiday and public holidays) and school closure hours (i.e. when the school closes before its standard closing time), you can purchase additional care if available. We offer childcare in accordance with the Professional Childcarer-Child Ratio and with a minimum of 5 children.

  The application can be submitted in the parent portal. Do this no later than 4 weeks (28 calendar days) before the relevant school closing day (or hours). According to the new collective labor agreement, we must announce the schedules to our employees in the groups 21 calendar days in advance. If you submit the application less than 28 calendar days before the school closing day or school closing hours, we can still approve it if it falls within the Professional Childcarer-Child Ratio.

  On contract days, you only pay extra for school closure days for the period from 7:30 a.m. to the normal school end time. Or in the case of school closing hours for the period that the school closes earlier until the normal school end time.
