    Default Enquiry for childcare

    Just had an enquiry about childcare for 3 children, 1 is at school and two younger. Mum would like care either at her home or mine and she wants to pay £6.31 an hour.

    What's with the 1p? I'm genuinely bemused about that figure......

    Anyway, I don't have any space. I just thought it was funny

    Yes I think its min wage but of course she will be offering a sick pay package, holiday's, a company pension?? supplying you with cover for legal breaks and times to attend doctors and dental appointments.... etc... etc.....
