About Kraamzorg de Eilanden

Knowledgeable

We are knowledgeable because we are an HKZ (Harmonization of Quality in Health Care) certified maternity care organization. This certification guarantees you high-quality care. Additionally, our maternity nurses are specialized in guiding breastfeeding. Ongoing education for our maternity nurses is a priority at Kraamzorg de Eilanden. This includes refresher courses in first aid and the latest insights and techniques in breastfeeding. Furthermore, we review the latest developments in maternity care every quarter. This is how we ensure consistent quality.

Care for the family

Most children look forward to having a younger brother or sister, making the arrival of a new baby an exciting and joyful experience. However, some children may find it difficult to share their mom’s attention and adjust to the changes in the family dynamic. Our maternity nurses don’t just care for the mother and baby; they also ensure that the baby’s integration into the family goes smoothly. In other words, they make sure that any other children in the family are involved in caring for the baby. Please note: If you choose the minimum care package of 24 hours, the maternity care will be limited to tasks related to the care of the mother and baby only.

Personalized Maternity Care

Our dedicated maternity nurses are passionate about providing the best possible care for new families. We offer support where it’s needed, always striving for the highest quality of care. Our services are tailored to your unique situation whether you have ample family support or require extra assistance, such as in the case of twins. The number of maternity care hours is customized to meet your specific needs.

Service area

Kraamzorg de Eilanden operates from three locations: Zwijndrecht, Delft, and our headquarters in Stellendam. Our service area includes the entire Rijnmond region, Delft, Rotterdam, Drechtsteden, Voorne-Putten, and Goeree-Overflakkee. Our maternity nurses are based throughout this region, ensuring accessible care near you.

Your maternity care

Maternity Intake

During the maternity intake, we discuss everything related to preparing for childbirth and the postpartum period. This includes your family composition, the presence of pets, and any specific needs you may have. We’ll also introduce you to our organization and explain the maternity care you can expect from us. The benefits of breastfeeding will be covered as well, and most importantly, we’re eager to hear your wishes!

The maternity intake takes place no later than the 7th month of pregnancy, or the 6th month in the case of multiple births. If this is your first child or there are special circumstances, we will visit you at home. If you’ve had a child before, the intake is usually conducted over the phone.

Number of maternity care hours

The number of maternity care hours depends on your needs. Kraamzorg de Eilanden has created three package options for you based on its experience. You can find more details under ‘Choose Your Package.’ Depending on your situation, the number of hours may be increased or decreased. The legal minimum is 24 hours, spread over 8 days

Choose your desired number of maternity care hours

When registering with us, you can indicate how many hours of maternity care you prefer by selecting a package. During the intake, our consultants will assess together with you whether these hours truly match your situation. This assessment is done according to the guidelines of the National Indication Protocol for Maternity Care (LIP), which is used by all maternity care organizations in the Netherlands.

Shortly after your delivery (and again three or four days later), your maternity nurse will evaluate whether additional hours are needed. If extra care is required, your maternity nurse will discuss this with your midwife and can, if necessary, reassess the allocated hours. Additionally, our Planning Team will check at the time of delivery whether there are enough maternity nurses available to provide the requested hours.

Physical when necessary, digital when possible

Maternity care is constantly evolving. That’s why we offer packages that combine physical and digital care. This care model has been determined nationally and established in the agreement between Zorgverzekeraars Nederland and Bo Geboortezorg.

Health insurers follow the principle: “Physical when necessary, digital when possible.” But what does this mean for your family?

Structure of Maternity Care:

  • Physical maternity care: Your maternity nurse will visit your home to provide hands-on support.
  • Digital maternity care: In addition to physical care, you will also receive digital support. A second e-maternity nurse will be available to assist you via a secure online video call.
  • Digital education: Through the free Babybalance app, you will receive digital guidance in the form of videos and magazines for nine months.

The physical and e-maternity nurses work closely together. They share updates securely to ensure seamless coordination of your care.

Choose your package

We want to accommodate your maternity care preferences, which is why you can select your own package with us. Please indicate your chosen package on your registration form. You can choose from the following:

Minimum Care Package

Physical care 24 hours
e-Maternity care 4-6 hours
Digital education
Most popular

Optimal Care Package

Physical care 33 hours
e-Maternity care 4-6 hours
Digital education

Intensive Care Package

Physical care 49 hours
None*
Digital education

* The Intensive Care Package generally does not include e-Maternity care. However, if additional care is required due to a reassessment, e-Maternity care may be provided as part of the extra support.PP

Peak moments in maternity care

At Kraamzorg de Eilanden, we can generally manage busy periods well. However, we occasionally experience extreme peaks when many babies are born at the same time. This may mean that we need to adjust maternity care hours slightly.

Please know that we do everything we can to provide you with the best possible care and support, even in these circumstances, while taking your situation into account.

Costs and insurance

Costs 2025

The cost of maternity care and your own contribution are regulated by law and are covered by basic health insurance. All costs, with the exception of your own contribution, are reimbursed. Your contribution is €5,40 per hour. There are some health care providers that, depending on how you’re insured, reimburse all or part of this contribution. Lactation consultations and the maternity package can also be covered. Check the policy terms or ask your health care provider if you are eligible. In addition to the indexed maternity care hours, it’s also possible to purchase maternity care hours. You pay for these hours yourself. An extra hour of maternity care costs €63,25.

Health insurance

De Eilanden Maternity Care has contracts with all health care providers to provide maternity care. In a number of cases, you cannot register with us directly. In such cases you need to contact your health care provider’s maternity care line. Read the terms and conditions of your insurance policy carefully. A number of health care providers reimburse things like lactation expert consultations or have free maternity packages available.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is the best source of nutrition for your baby. It contains all the essential nutrients and antibodies your baby needs and remains an important supplement even after solid foods are introduced. You can rely on expert guidance from our maternity nurses. They are highly trained and have extensive experience.

Breastfeeding not only strengthens the bond between mother and baby but also offers numerous health benefits:

Benefits for your baby
  • Supports the passing of meconium
  • Contains antibodies that help protect against diseases
  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Is easier to digest than formula
  • Lowers the risk of allergies
  • Reduces the risk of asthma
  • Lowers the risk of middle ear infections (otitis)
Benefits for the mother
  • Reduces blood loss after birth by helping the uterus contract faster
  • Lowers the risk of osteoporosis
  • Supports post-pregnancy weight loss
Live online breastfeeding webinars

During the webinar, you will receive essential information for a successful start to breastfeeding. Recognizing your baby’s cues makes it easier to respond to their needs, and identifying and addressing potential challenges early on helps ensure a relaxed breastfeeding journey.

Topics covered in the webinar
  • How breastfeeding works
  • Proper latching techniques: what to look for?
  • How to establish and maintain a good milk supply
