hi everyone,
I have just been registered and my first parents/ potential mindee coming over to visit my setting.They are yet to ask me about my charges.They need 3 full days from 10am to 8pm per week.I am not sure how much childminders charge now in Essex...specifically Chelmsford.Any ideas anyone? Any tips for the familiarisation visit will be appreciated.thanks

Hiya,

I'm in Colchester, and my fee is £4/h and sibling 50p less. That's also for my working hours only. So between 7.30-18.00 Monday - Friday. Out of that hours will be £6/h. Schoolies £5/h. And weekend and bank holiday I'm not available but if it's unavoided then my fee will be double.
That's roughly the same with other cm around here. But I know I'm one of the normal/ cheap. Some of them already £4.50-£4.75/ h but they provide meals, which I'm not. I'm only provide health snacks.

Hope that help

I am in Stanford-le-hope (between Basildon and Lakeside)

I charge £4 per hour for EY children. Minumum 4 hours per day. Includes all meals and snacks.

£4.25 for BS and AS.

This is what "I" would do if it were me (not saying you should)

I tend to annulise my fees so I always get paid the same even when I take holiday as I would have already deducted my fee... the only time it changes is if I/my child is sick and I close, or they require overtime.

£4p/h x 10 hours per day = £40 a pd
£40pd x3 days a week = £120

£120 a week x 48 weeks (4 weeks deducted for my unpaid holiday) = £5760

£5760 divided by 12 months = £480 per months

I live in Grays, Essex and I charge between £4.25 and £4.50 an hour. It depends on the total number of hours and start and end times. I work from 7am - 6pm and include meals in my fees.
