our village school has started a breakfast club, upto now I have been full with school aged children and couple of little ones.
But the new breakfast club and after school club will destroy my business
it is amazing how these things can happen, I charge £3 an hour but breakfast
club is only £1 so I don't blame my parents moving their children to it, many I mind for are school teachers so they only need term time anyway.
We have 4 minders here with nice little businesses all going belly up.
Its amazing that farmers can get subsides when business goes belly up
but what about childminders, my income will half now.
It is strange because we have one small food shop in our village, but if another one set up and charge 1/3 of the price for their food and put the
other out of business it would not be allowed, yet it seems okay to do it to childminders? have any other minders gone through this and how have you weathered the storm ?
