i have been a childminder for 7 months, i am having a few quetions,
i know 3 other cm in my area and all do different.
so far i charge
if im sick - no fee
bank holidays - normal rate
if if parent/child is sick/hoiday/off - full rate
if im on holiday - no fee

but am thinking of changing it to
im sick - no fee
bank holidays either take them off and still charge as the parents get paid for their bank holidays(two of the cm near me do that)
or
bank holidays work but charge double rate(hopefully put them off coming lol)
when im on holiday and families take same holidays off then half rate
and if i take holidays and they dont take holidays same time then no fee

also i have a term time i charge full rate when i have child and half rate when i dont.
what do u think makes good sense i know we are self employed but trying to makesure i am not out of pocket either also thinking when do i change contract with the parents that already have the first set of fees??

helpppppppp i hate this part the money part !! always a hard one
