I charge £3 per hour and £4 after 6pm and before 7am, not that I would ever work past these times.
I charge £3 per hour and £4 after 6pm and before 7am, not that I would ever work past these times.
I'm in Vale of Glamorgan and charge £3.75 p/h between 8am and 6pm and £5 p/h outside those hours, including meals and snacks.
I'm in Northern Scotland - £3.40ph regardless of ft/pt and £12 per school day for b4/afterschool - includes snacks and drinks and softplay/toddlers/small trips and treats etc.
No daily rate/half day rates, they confuse me lol!
Im in Stoke-on-Trent and be honest Im considered expensive. Tbh some cm's round here charge less than that I know one who charges £10 a day. You wouldnt get people paying more than that when theres plenty people who charge less. The ones who do charge more and have a hourly rate of £3-£3.50 have never got kids so I charge accordingly.
The industry round here has just disappeared and its mainly call centres etc. I know you have WFTC but families just havent got the money to add to it if they have to, so they chose the cheaper option.
Luckily the school I do there is only 3 cms who work it but now they have started to do an after school care so again we are competing. For before and after school i think its only £45 the only silver lining there is they dont do school holidays.
But think Im moving to Surrey I would only have to have the one mindee!!!!

im on £3.25ph or £30 pd but I charge more for part time. After school are £10 3-6pm
Im in the midlands and the average seems to be £3.50ph
Im thinking of going upto £3.50p/h esp if prices of everything keep going up
I dont charge extra for toddler groups but I do for lunch but I prefer parents to provide lunch

Depending on when mine started I have one on £4.00 per hour otherwise I charge £4.50 for P/T, £4.25 for full time but this includes snacks, drinks, teas, petrol for pick ups + drop offs, any outings, drop ins etc. I'm in Berks.
I don't charge if parents are late paying me either.(Something I'm looking into though)

My fees are £4.00 an hour, snacks and meal extra.
Toddler groups outings parents pay for, and seem quite happy to do so.
I haven't started yet, but familees are happy to pay these fees as soom as registrations comes thru!

I'm in kent and charge £4.50ph.
I split my day into two sessions;
Morning = 8am - 1pm
Afternoon = 1pm - 6pm
Parents pay me by the session.
This way if they only use me from say 9am - 12pm, I still get paid from 8am-1pm. I explain it is because I cannot fill the odd hours they are not using.
I have been Childminding since 2006 and I have never had a parent moan or complain about the way I charge, although I realise this may not work for everyone.

This is such an interesting post.
I charge 4.50 an hour and I'm in Herts. I know that is about average because I've looked into it.
Can't believe guys charge 7 pounds upwards in Surrey,but also can't believe that some go as low as 10 or 18 pounds a day!!
I understand that obviously some areas of the country are considered more affluent but 18 a day seems very low to me. Considering the amount of work we have to do and the responsibility.
not sure I would do a whole day for that,especially with my current 21month tazmanian devil!!!
Don't mean to be judgemental guys,I'm just shocked.
£3.00 ph hour 8-6, £4.50 ph before/after those times. Snacks/ toddler groups included but meals extra. I am in Carmarthenshire and that is what the standard is here. I charged this 5 years ago in Essex .
I stick to ph at the moment - I don't offer discounts for siblings, more hours etc and I do have a 3 hour per day minimum charge.
I am in Wiltshire and charge between £3.75 and £25.00 per hour (£25 being bank holidays)
Before school £6.50 (including breakfast)
After school varies £15.00 5 days, £17.00 2 days plus food
Full time (8-6) is £38.00 5 days and £40.00 2 days plus food
Holiday care 8-6 as above
Part time school hours £25.00
As my opening hours are 8-6 parents are usually with me by then and therefore no overtime rates apply but I do charge a late payment fee of £20 if the micky is taken.

No offence taken the average around here is between 70 and 100 per week for a full timer. If I was to charge my full time timer 4.50 per hour parents would be paying 180 a week and then I wouldnt be working its that simple.
I remember going to my briefing session (yes I can still remember it) and being told then not to expect to become rich by childminding and boy were they right.
But as Helen says our cost of living is cheaper my brother when he lived in London used to love coming here because he could buy a round of drinks for 4 of us and get change out of a tenner.

Hi I charge £15 per day and £35 per week for before and after school. I've been reading everyone elses fees and I wish you could all contact my minded children's parents and tell them how much you charge. I'm always being moaned at for being expensive. In these prices are all meals , days out and toddler groups.
