childminder going rate?

[sunbob]

Does anyone know how much a childminder charges? Is it less than double for two children?

[Helen GV]

I'd say ?50 to ?60 a day. Some may give a sibling discount, worth asking!

[pebbles]

I pay mine ?45. She charges the same for siblings (well actually i only know she charges the same for twins so not sure about different aged siblings)

?45 that's very Cheep not many minders out their for ?45

[hellosailor]

Most childminders charge ?50 a day. I have never heard of anyone paying as much as ?60 but perhaps there are those that charge as much as that. ?50 a day is what all my friends who have a childminder pay.

I'm a registered childminder and charge ?50-?55 per day and reduced rates for siblings

I've been quoted ?60 for a childminder, but most I have seen are ?50

Also check whether they charge you extra for group activities that they go to, and travel costs

Thanks everyone, and those who pmd too. That gives me a good idea of the ball park.

My fees are inclusive of outings, playgroups, nappies, wipes , food and snacks. The children receive a present on birthdays and Christmas. Sometimes my parents are running late and I charge no extra for this either so I think I'm pretty fair. I love my job

What hours constitute a typical cm day, please?

[maritap]

Normally 8-6 or some re willing to do 7.30-6

I have been quoted 45-70. Pay ours 50 which includes all meals and snacks. We provide nappies and wet wipes. Some cms don't do food, personally I would rather pay more to postpone packed lunch making for a few more years! Not sure about siblings, worth asking though.
