Your Family Service Office


In recent years, the district of Grafschaft Bentheim has installed a wide range of services to improve the compatibility of family and career. The aim is to create and maintain a family-friendly environment locally.

To achieve this, a total of six family service offices have been set up, including a contact point in the joint municipality of Uelsen.

The family service offices are the central point of contact for all family-related topics and offer you the opportunity to obtain individual information and advice, as they have a precise overview of the local offers and are in close contact with childcare centers, schools, daycare providers, advice centers, etc.
