I have been asked to do a school pick up for two children from September, I will have them from 3.30-6pm

but also the parents would like me to have them full days in school holidays, I have no idea whatsoever how

much to charge as I have never done this before. I would appreciate childminders response/advice regarding

this matter.

Depending on how long you will be looking after the children you probably should look into registering as a child minder with the Care Inspectorate. http://www.careinspectorate.com/index.php/register-a-care-service/register-a-childminding-service


The site says: Childminders must, by law, register with the Care Inspectorate. The legal definition of a childminder is a person who works with children for more than 2 hours a day in the childminders own home for reward.

Hi Sally,


I am a registered childminder, I would like to know if anything extra is charged for school pick up or

is it just by hourly rate? also what would be the situation for school term time? is it normal to charge

full pay during this time because I have to keep the spaces open for these children?

Hi. I understand that the question is addressed to sally but as a chilminder i would Like to contribute and share my opinion. The price depends on yourself - how you would like to charge and the distance of your travel. Most childminders just charge a daily rate as drop off and pick up will take up a lot of your day. You also wont be able to to take another child on that day.

Hope this helps.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
