Childcare Allowance
The Dutch government provides substantial subsidies to lower the costs of formal childcare. These subsidies are known as the childcare allowance (‘kinderopvangtoeslag’). It can lower your childcare cost up to 80%. Obtaining and maintaining the allowance can be utterly complex. We can apply and maintain this childcare subsidy for you.
Childcare allowance is available for parents who are (temporarily) working or studying in the Netherlands, irrespective of nationality or type of childcare they choose to use; daycare, after-school care, and childminders. Childcare allowance is also available for tax exempt residents, for example diplomats and employees of international organizations.
Blue Childcare is designed to help you finance your childcare costs and benefit optimally from the available childcare subsidies.
