I am a member of the NCMA and also our local childminders network

I have no idea!! I charge £3.50 and I think this is about average but most people I know charge this or less.

How long have you been minding? The average is supposed to be five years what do you think?
I have been minding 3 months. Other minders I know have either been minding 10+ years, or less than 3.

Are you a member of any Childminding organisations, NCMA , LA networks etc?
I am not. My local authority have my details and send me information, but I didn't want to pay £5 just to join them as the only extra I would get would be advertisement on their site, of which I don't really need atm! I am in my local network though.

How many hours do you work each week on average?
So far 3 full days a week, will be 5 days in September, 7am-5:30pm 3 days, 7:30am-6pm 2 days.

What is the average childminding fee per hour in your area?
£3.50 edging it's way to £4 which I will be increasing to in the new year.


Hope it all goes well and you get the grade you want!
