    Default Calling London childminders

    I would very much like to know where in London you are and how much you charge, I think I'm charging way to low, have recently seen some local childminders charging more than me and am putting my fees up in the new year but still wondering if I'm putting them high enough.

    A friend of mine says her childminder in Catford, South London charges £45 a day, which I thought was alot for a deprived area, but clearly not!!

    We are in Hertfordshire on the borders of Harrow and Hillingdon (most of my parents live in these two boroughs) we charge £45 per day because the actual area is one of deprevation. However most of the CM's in bordering boroughs charge £5-6 p/hr (wonder why our parents chose us )

    We're in North London

    It varies around here. One minder I know charges £45 a day

    I have a sliding scale, if they are here for less than 8 hours, it £6.75ph, full day (8-6£80) £65, a full time child (5 days) would work out as £60 a day

    Well, this will be my new fee's from January anyway. I have been told there are CMs (who are closer to one particular desirable school) charge between £70 and £80!

    It's interesting to see even in the outskirts and deprived areas it's still quite alot. Had a potential client this morning and had my new fees in my folder, she didn't bat an eyelid, just goes to show!

    I'm Wimbledon and charge £65 per day (8-6pm, includes all meals). I have seen some minders charge more but I have no idea if they are full or if they negotiate fees.
