What to know about gyms with childcare in the Netherlands

What differs from one gym to the next, and what to check before you sign up.

Gym childcare in the Netherlands is usually for young children up to school age, during set mornings and sometimes early evenings. It may be free for members, cost a small fee per visit, or need a reserved place. It covers only the time you are in the building, and the staff are not always qualified childminders, so ask how the crèche is run before your first visit.

Tips

  • Reserve a crèche place in the app, especially for busy mornings.
  • Check the age limits and the price per visit.
  • Ask how the crèche is staffed before your first visit.
