Wow.. well done on getting an enquiry
I would think about how it would impact on your routine... how far away is the nursery? Would you mind the drive?
Looking at the age of the child who is 4 in Feb, he/she will be starting school in Sept? So it looks like it will only be an 1130am pick up from January until end of August? So only short term.
This could be a good one to start with as you know it will come to an end in Sept and the mindee will either stop coming or be in your over 5y age range, giving you a spare space again.
Different childminders charge different rates, some charge whilst the child is at nursery, others don't. I don't charge as I've always had a couple more children and after school children so no big loss of wage for me. There's no correct way of charging, I personally would just charge from when I left the house so probably 7hrs but you could quite easily charge a full days price but be prepared for Mum to find somewhere else if she doesn't want to pay you and nursery.
I would arrange a visit, and if she's happy, take a deposit and sign contracts on the day, as January is not too far away. Setting in session in beginning Dec as xmas is coming up.
Good luck in what you decide
