Hi. Following on from a thread about charges in the Midlands area at whether to charge £4/hour. I have to say that in the Tunbridge Wells and surrounding villages £4/hour would be deemed very low price.

I was wondering whether any minders in the Tunbridge Wells / surrounding villages charge £6/hour.

A woman at school with a 6 year old girl used to pay £7.25/hour when she was a baby. I thought that was very high though.

It is difficult because Crowborough seem to charge nearly a £1 less an hour on average than Tunbridge Wells and I am located slap bang in the middle. However, there are no other CMs around my area at all - of course that may be because there is no need for them!

pingu - I'd just try TW price and see :-)
You'll soon know if it's a tad too much.
But keep details to phone people back with poss reduced price if no takers.

Did you get any price research details from Info for Families at County Hall? That's how I knew what to charge.

Bit further afield, but I am in Tenterden - another 'affluent' area and the going rate here is £3.50-£4.50/hour which I thought very low when I registered. I charge £4/hour. But then, although some of my parents commute to London and therefore earn good money, many don't and the average wage round here is quite lower - much lower than you would expect considering house prices for example!
