At last I have my first mindee coming in September. Now his mum is on the care to learn government scheem so I havea few bits of their paperwork to fill in. Was just wondering how good they are at paying you or how long it takes for it all to go through??

Thanks in advance of any replies

I have been with them since april 2011. I have never had any problems with them they pay on time in your bank and each month i get paper work each month (a cross in a box sign and date) it to say I still have the child and thats it. They sort out payments quite quick as long as you have sent the paperwork off in enough time.
Hope this helps.

I was looking after a child the school year before last and had nothing but problems with them. It took until sometime in November to get the first payment and then come January until the July, I had to chase up pretty much every payment. Most were two weeks late, but only after I had made so many frustrated calls.

In my experience and the experience of many on here, you do get paid, but dont rely on it being in your account when they say it should be and make sure if its not you get straight on the phone as it takes time to sort it.

I would seriously consider taking them on again, but only if I didnt need the money to pay my bills

I have been using care to learn for 2 years,they pay you monthly in advance.Make sure that when you receive your payment plan (which comes at the beginning of term) the details are correct if there are any discrepencies phone up straight away. I have had to wait for payment on two occasions but as soon as i contacted them the problems were dealt with quickly. I would rather deal with care to learn than a non-paying parent.
