Rates

What does childcare for your child actually cost? A logical question, but the answer is different for everyone. The costs depend on, namely: the type of care, the number of hours, the number of children, the package you choose and the location. And you may be able to apply for childcare allowance. Or - in the case of pre-school care - a contribution from the municipality. To get an idea of what it will mean for your wallet, you can make a trial calculation.

All-in rates

Our rates include many extras, so you will not face any unexpected costs. At our day care centres, nappies, feeding bottles, milk formula and meals are included. For out-of-school care, we arrange free transport to swimming lessons and various sports clubs. You do not pay anything extra for outings either.

Getting money back? Apply for it!

Did you know that there is a good chance you can get a refund from the Tax Administration or your municipality? Note: you have to apply for this yourself. Below you can calculate how much you pay monthly and whether you will get a refund.

Childcare allowance: you can apply up to 3 months after the month in which your child starts attending childcare. So don't wait too long to apply.

Pre-school care: All parents can get a contribution towards the costs of pre-school care. So always apply for childcare allowance or subsidy, even if your child has a pre-school education place.

How do I pay the monthly cost of childcare?

Payments are made by direct (preauthorised) debit. On the 28th of the month preceding the relevant month of childcare, Bink collects the amount from your account. The invoice amount is to be paid before the 1st of the relevant month of childcare. You will receive a monthly invoice either per email or mail. Every year in February, you will receive an annual statement. The tax authorities pay the childcare allowance for the following month on the 20th of the month.

Parents who both work are eligible for childcare allowance. In the following situations you can get childcare allowance if you do not work:

  • If you are under 18, are on social security and undergoing training;
  • If you do a work-study programme, receive no social benefit and have no employer;
  • If you take a compulsory integration course at a certified institution;
  • If you do a work-study programme;
  • If you are a student.

  • have income from business;
  • have income from other activities, for instance as a freelancer or an artist;
  • take part in a reintegration programme via your employer.
