Registration National Childcare Register

The National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang) is a public register containing all childcare locations in the Netherlands. Parents can find addresses for childcare such as daycare centers, playgroups, after-school care, childminders and childminder agencies in this register.

Registration in the National Childcare Register is mandatory for childcare providers. This applies to daycare centers, after-school care, playgroups, childminder agencies and childminders. The registration must be kept up to date: changes must be reported to the register. The registration is carried out by the municipality and is based on the Childcare Act (Wet kinderopvang).
