I am not being picky but why are you charging less than you hourly rate for a full day 9.5 hours x £3.50 = £33.25 but you advertise at £33.25?

Same for after school £45 per week doesn't seem very much at all - mine is £70 but this could be a difference in areas.

If you have just started have you checked out the other childminders in your area?

Very nice! Looks really good!

And i see you have done your keywords too!

Hope you get lots of visits.

Ok I checked the four other CM's in the village and this is what they charge:

Two of them charge:
£3 per hour
£24 per day
8am till 5.30pm

The third:
£3 per hour
£28 per day
8am till 6pm

And the fourth:
£3 per hour
£20 per day
£80 per week

7am till 7pm

I don't know how the fourth does it for that amount but anyway - how do you think my fees compare? x

hi that sounds like my area all charge differently, pity we didnt have a standard fee, == areas

I wonder if minders keep fee low to try and get more work, I MIGHT BE WRONG
