Ok, so in the 4 years Ive been minding Ive not put my fees up (I charge £4 per hour)
I went to a childminders meeting last week, there were minders there from my village and the neighbouring one.
All, apart from 1, who charges the same as myself (and she says shes happy with this and wont be charging more any time soon) charge more than me, ranging from £4.25 - £5.50.
I would like to put my fees up, We live in a reasonably afflluent area, and my 3 lots of parents all have good jobs (although I appreciate I dont know their financial circumstances) but with the economy as it is at the moment, food bills etc being so more expensive, I really have no idea how to broach the subject..
I also pick 1 LO up from school which is a 3.6 mile round journey, I havent charged anything up till now as again didnt know how too :o No back bone me :blush: I need to start charging for this, as diesel is so bloomin expensive at the mo, and unfortunatly I dont drive small car its a big un..
So if you lovley folks could give me some ideas as what to say to my parents in my letter, I would really appreciate it.
Thanx
