What time does you childminding day start?
Just wondered what everyone's daily schedule was? :-)
-
I m up by 6 , My working day starts at 6.30 - first mindees arrive at 7.15 , but first I have to set up for the day - as I haven't got a playroom almost everything gets packed away each evening . Kids bathroom to check , kiddiwash to fill , paint pots ....all the usual setting up tasks..... Final mindee goes home at 6 , then 15 mins or so to pack and pile and revert to 'home' !!

I get up between 630/700 and I start at 8am to 530
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

I am paid to start work at 8, but most of the time one mindee doesn't arrive until 9.15, depending on parents schedule. My other mindee also pays from 8.00 but never arrives until about 9.10 after they have done the school run for older brother. I'm very blessed at the moment, it hasn't always been like that and probably won't be come September when I have to get new mindees. I should finish at 6 but it is more like 6.15, because the one mindee's parents assumed that because they give me an hour free most mornings then they can be a bit creative with pick up time. I didn't have the heart (courage) to tell them that this wasn't the case.

One day a week I work 8am-5.30pm. Two days I do 7.30am-4.30pm, another day I do 9am-4pm. and if I work a Friday it's 9.30am-2.45pm.
I would much prefer an early start than a late finish. From September I won't work any later than 5pm.

I get up at 6.30am, my first mindees arrive 07.45 - 08.00. I work until 17.30 (used to be 18.00 but I changed in Jan)

3 days a week it's 7.45am to 5pm, though the kids are very rarely here until 5, the last 2 days they've been picked up at 3.55!
One day it's 11.30am to 4pm and I do not work Friday's.
Also I only work term time.
After the summer holidays it'll go back to 4 days at 7.45 to 5, not sure I'm ready for that lol!
