She wants to come and live in Surrey, then she'd have a shock. I'm one of the cheapest ( no cheap gags thank you ) and I charge £4 per hour.

People want something for nothing these days.
Well done on saying no vacancies.

Perhaps she wanted you to pay her for the privilege of looking after her little darling. As i have said before you pay peanuts you get monkeys (no disrespect):angry:

Exactly!!
Even higher where I am!
The going rate is anywhere between £5 - £6.50 per hour!

That is why I don't charge any extra's for food or outings/activites etc.
I also spend quite a lot of money on resources and extra luxuries for the kids.
I would rather the kids benefited than give it to the taxman ;) :laughing:

Me too - some of the lower rates are downrate degrading!! There aren't many people who would work for such a small amount these days.
I think childminders should be paid a decent wage considering the importance of their jobs. I wonder how the nationwide differences in hourly rates developed?

Silly woman! What the heck is she on about thinking £2.75 is a lot, what does she expect you to have her child for £1 or for free? Weird!

More than likely she wants childcare for free :rolleyes: :D

The daft thing is she's probably getting help to pay her childcare costs anyway
some people just want something for nothing
