Childcare in Sint Jansklooster

Frequently asked questions

How much does childcare cost in Sint Jansklooster in 2026?

Hourly rates of daycare centres and BSOs in Sint Jansklooster vary per location. On Opvango you can see each location's current hourly rate, plus an estimate of what you pay net after the Dutch childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag). The maximum hourly rates the government reimburses in 2026 are set in the KOT table.

How do I find childcare with availability in Sint Jansklooster?

On the search page, filter by your child's age group, your preferred starting month and the days you need. Locations with immediate availability get a green waiting-time pill; for other locations you see an indication of the waiting time.

What is the difference between a KDV and a BSO?

A daycare centre (KDV) is for children aged 0–4, full days or half days. After-school care (BSO) looks after school children aged 4–12 before and after school hours and during holidays. Many locations offer both.

Is there preschool (peuteropvang) in Sint Jansklooster?

Yes, 2 locations in Sint Jansklooster offer peuteropvang or a VVE preschool programme — usually within a daycare centre, for children aged 2 to 4. Preschool groups often follow school hours and school weeks and playfully prepare your toddler for primary school.

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

In Sint Jansklooster you'll find 8 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.

When should I enrol my child for childcare in Sint Jansklooster?

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 Sint Jansklooster?

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.
