What is the difference between a daycare centre and a childminder in Roden?

In Roden you'll find 11 childminders on Opvango. A daycare centre cares for children in groups, at a dedicated location with several pedagogical staff and fixed opening hours. A childminder (gastouder) cares for at most six children at a time, usually in their own home and affiliated with a childminder agency — smaller-scale, homely and often more flexible in days and hours. A childminder's hourly rate is usually lower, but the tax office also applies a lower maximum hourly rate for the childcare benefit. Both forms are LRK-registered and therefore qualify for the benefit.

How do I find childcare with availability in Roden?

Filter by your child's age group, preferred starting month and required days. A green indication means space was reported recently; the provider confirms whether the requested combination can actually be accommodated.

When should I enrol my child for childcare in Roden?

In larger cities providers advise enrolling your child 6–9 months before your preferred starting date — sometimes longer for popular locations or specific days. Through Opvango you can enrol with several providers at once using a single form.

Am I entitled to the Dutch childcare benefit for childcare in Roden?

Yes — every location on Opvango registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) qualifies for the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). Each location page shows the LRK number and — once your income is known — an estimate of your net costs in 2026.
