Hi everyone, i'm starting to think about what i am going to charge parents and really struggling :panic: I have looked through a few threads on here regarding fees and have seen how much they vary depending on different areas, I'm from Chester, I was just wondering if there was anyone on here from around my neck of the woods who could give me some advice on what the going rates are in my area.
Thanks in advance
:)

You could look on your local FIS website to see what CM's charge in your area. Look at what you can afford and remember that if you choose to include meals, snacks you need to think about how that will change your current finances.
When I set my fees I didn't think about my own bills going up, heating, electric, food etc and now I am faced with increasing my fees, which is really hard to do.

As silly as it sounds i didn't really think about my own bills going up so thanks for that! I am going to include meals and snack so i will reflect that in my fees. Its so difficult.
Thanks
