Costs
How much does childcare cost?
The exact cost of childcare depends on your income and of course which type of childcare you choose. Below you will find our rate lists. In our calculation tool you can calculate what childcare costs in your situation.
Do you have questions? Please feel free to contact our Planning & Advice department. Our colleagues are happy to help you on your way!
Contribution to costs
As a parent, you do not have to pay the costs of childcare entirely yourself. The amount of compensation you receive depends on your situation and that of your child.
You will find gross amounts in our rate lists. The net amount you pay depends on your income, the associated cost compensation and the number of days you use childcare. Through our convenient calculation tool you can easily calculate the net cost of childcare at 2Samen in your situation.
All-in rates
We do not charge extra for activities, diapers, drinks, meals, organic fruit and transportation. Also our range of activities KICKS (such as sports, dance lessons, music lessons, excursions and summer camps) is included in the price. So easy!
Our care packages
You can contact us for various childcare packages. We offer childcare packages of 52 weeks and, in the BSO, of 40 weeks or 12 weeks of childcare per year. The smaller childcare packages are purchased for a minimum of one year.
A useful rule of thumb when choosing a package: the lower your income, the more you benefit from a larger childcare package at a lower hourly price. We would be happy to explain this to you, please feel free to call!
Childcare allowance (kinderopvangtoeslag)
Most parents are eligible for childcare allowance. This allowance is income-related.
Reimbursement for toddler care costs (TKP)
Municipalities contribute to the costs for parents who are not entitled to childcare allowance.
Allowance for Preschool Education (VE)
Parents with a VE indication are entitled to a municipal contribution. For many parents, this care is even completely free!

Frequently asked questions about what childcare costs
Do I get a discount for a second or subsequent child?
No, you will not receive a discount for a second or subsequent child. If you have a second child, you will receive proportionally more childcare allowance through the tax authorities.
Do BSO contracts include study days and/or holidays from school?
This depends on the package you have chosen.
How is the monthly rate structured?
At 2Samen you are billed the same amount every month, so you know exactly where you stand.
We calculate the average number of childcare hours by adding all childcare hours in the calendar year and dividing by 12 months. For more details, please contact the Planning & Advice department.
Can I move my start date (free of charge)?
No, not in principle. Creating a balanced schedule is a laborious process in which we have to take many aspects into account. However, we would like to think along with you as much as possible. So if you want to change the start date of your child's placement, please contact us. We will then look at the possibilities together with you.
If I pick up my child earlier or drop it off later, do I have to pay for fewer childcare hours?
No, in the contract we make fixed agreements for the days and hours of care. The location and our colleagues are available for your child at those times. Delivering later or picking up earlier has no influence on the price you pay.
My extra day / exchange day has been approved. How is the payment made?
If you have been able to exchange a day, you pay nothing extra. If you have requested an extra day and you no longer have any credit (depending on your care package), you will receive an extra invoice. You can also report these extra hours annually to the Tax Authorities in order to receive childcare allowance.
