Holland Capital Acquires KinderThuisZorg Pediatric Home Care

Holland Capital has completed the acquisition of KinderThuisZorg, a prominent Dutch provider specializing in pediatric nursing care delivered outside hospital environments. The partnership, announced on April 17, 2026, aims to enhance the accessibility and quality of home-based pediatric care across the Netherlands.

KinderThuisZorg supports approximately 6,500 children and their families each year, offering a range of nursing services from short-term support to complex care such as infusion therapy, tube feeding, and home ventilation. Care is provided in familiar settings including the child’s home, school, or immediate surroundings, with a focus on maintaining family control over care decisions.

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The transaction involves Holland Capital acquiring KinderThuisZorg’s business operations, with regulatory approval granted by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa). The partnership is expected to leverage Holland Capital’s healthcare expertise and network to support KinderThuisZorg’s long-term growth and service development.

KinderThuisZorg is the largest provider of specialized pediatric nursing care outside hospitals in the Netherlands. It collaborates nationwide with hospitals, health insurers, and care offices, and plays a key role in training pediatric nurses. The organization’s extensive network and expertise contribute significantly to the development and accessibility of pediatric care in home settings.

Holland Capital, with offices in Amsterdam and Düsseldorf, has over 40 years of experience investing in promising small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the Benelux and Germany. The firm focuses on sustainable growth in healthcare and technology sectors by working closely with management teams.

Jacqueline Kasten, Managing Director of KinderThuisZorg, said, “We have found a partner in Holland Capital that shares our vision of providing high-quality care for children and families. This partnership is the result of a carefully managed process and gives us confidence to further develop KinderThuisZorg in the long term.”

Philip Wilms, Investment Director at Holland Capital, added, “KinderThuisZorg is a strong and distinctive player with an important role in pediatric care in the Netherlands. We look forward to contributing to the further development of KinderThuisZorg with our knowledge, experience, and network in the healthcare sector.”

The acquisition strengthens Holland Capital’s position in the pediatric home healthcare market by adding the largest specialized provider in the Netherlands to its portfolio. The partnership is expected to create synergies through cross-selling additional healthcare services, expanding service offerings, and leveraging existing partnerships with hospitals and insurers to increase patient referrals.

Operational efficiencies are anticipated from economies of scale in nurse training and recruitment, streamlined administrative functions, and optimized procurement of medical equipment. Additionally, integrating IT systems will improve patient data management and coordination of care delivery.

Market trends indicate growing demand for home-based pediatric care driven by patient preference for familiar environments and cost containment pressures on healthcare systems. This deal positions Holland Capital to capitalize on these trends by scaling specialized pediatric nursing services and enhancing care quality.

Challenges include maintaining high-quality care during integration, aligning organizational cultures, retaining specialized nursing staff, and managing regulatory risks related to home healthcare reimbursement. Holland Capital and KinderThuisZorg plan to address these through careful integration planning and ongoing collaboration.

Looking ahead, the partnership aims to expand KinderThuisZorg’s service capacity, improve nurse training programs, and innovate care delivery models. The deal underscores Holland Capital’s commitment to investing in healthcare providers that deliver specialized, patient-centered care outside traditional hospital settings.

Since the start of 2026, Holland Capital has been particularly active across its portfolio, completing a series of investments and bolt-on acquisitions spanning healthcare, industrial automation, and technology. New platform investments include KinderThuisZorg (paediatric home care), EAE (industrial automation), HuisartsenHulp & CareAbout (primary care workforce solutions), Pluggerz (custom hearing protection), and Sibi (healthcare HR software), while portfolio companies Medexs/Van Vliet Healthcare Group and Emixa continued their buy-and-build trajectories with the acquisitions of Laméris and Nextage Group respectively.
