I have a space for this September and I'm in the process of having parents come round. One parent is a teacher and so wants term-time only. I did term-time only childminding for a few years but looking back I sold myself short as I only charged the parents 4 weeks half fee just for my holidays and the other 11 weeks they paid nothing. One parent I had worked in a private school and had even more holidays off.

Anyway, that's in the past and I'm tempted to choose the teacher over the other three parents I'm seeing (two last week and one this week who want all year round care) but I've just found out she teaches in a private school which means less income for me obviously.

Would anyone be willing to let me know how they charge for term-time only childminding? Thanks.
