Rates

You don’t pay the costs for childcare alone. You will be compensated for a large part of the costs by the government via the childcare allowance. With our calculation tool you can quickly and easily get an indication of what our childcare costs will be in your situation.

Please note fill in the details for all children using our childcare centre. Are your children registered with different childcare organisations? Or would you like to make a calculation for one or more half days of childcare? Then go to www.toeslagen.nl to calculate your net costs.

Different rates apply to current clients for certain services. These are not included in the calculation tool.

Does your child attend the Pre-school and are you not eligible for a childcare benefit? In that case, too, your net hourly rate depends on your income, thanks to a subsidy from the municipality. For more information, see the rates at the bottom of this page.

Please contact us for more information about childcare costs.

If you work, follow an education, or follow an integration course, you might be eligible for childcare allowance*. On the Belastingdienst website, you can check whether or not you are entitled to childcare allowance

*Is your child part of the play-and-learning group and are you not eligible for childcare allowance? In Amersfoort, Nijkerk and Leusden, you pay a contribution independent of income. We charge a low rate, thanks to a grant from the municipality. This grant applies to children from the age of 2.5 years. 

Childcare allowance depends on your income

Childcare allowance is a maximum of 33,3% of the maximum hourly rate. Depending on your income, this percentage can increase up to 96%.  For your second and next child, this number is between 67,6% and 96%. Our hourly rate is above the maximum decided by the government. You will not receive allowance above the maximum hourly rate. We take this into account in our calculation tool, so the result is really what you pay each month with us.

Collective income

Childcare allowance is calculated based on the size of your collective income (referred to by the Belastingsdienst as assessment income or the current year). Your collective income is the combined bruto yearly income of you and any partner, minus deductions like mortgage interest. On the site of the Belastingdienst is a helpful calculation tool to calculate your collective income.

Maximum hours per month

Eligibility for childcare allowance is linked to the amount of hours the least working partner works. With childcare at the daycare center, you are entitled to 140% of the hours worked. With out-of-school childcare, you are entitled to 70% of the hours worked. You can receive childcare allowance for a maximum of 230 hours per child per month on average.
