    Default How much?

    How much should I charge for a 9 and 10 year old just 2 hours after school?

    Siblings and obviously not in my "numbers".

    Not sure what to charge the family?

    Thanks

    My usual fee is £3.50 per child per hour.

    For my elder siblings like this which don't come into numbers I charge £3 an hour each and charge term time only.

    I only do sibling discount when they are older to not count in numbers. I still charge full rate for my early years siblings.

    my after school fees are £5 for the 1st .hr which includes pickup fee and then £3.50 each .hr after.

    I did charge only £3.50 an .hr when I first started childminding but it wasn't worth my while.

    I would charge my normal rate. I don't offer a sibling discount.

    Over 8s are no less work than under 8s and usually eat you out of house & home, so make sure you don't undercharge

    I would charge my rate of 3.50 per child per hour so it would total £14.

    I am in line with after school club who charge slightly a higher rate but do give tea. I offer mine a sandwich or spag /beans on toast as I don't have time to cook.

    I charge a flat rate for B/A School which is for an hour before and upto 3 hours after, including snack and evening meal.
    I have one parent pay the flat rate but only uses me for 2 hours a day
