Hi all, I am coming to the end of my level 3 Cache course and hope to have qualified by the end of this month, first aid course booked in and dbs checks about to go in! Very exciting!! I am based in West Sussex and have discovered there are not many other childminders around so it’s hard to find out what the going hourly rate is? Is it best to include food in your fee or ask parents to provide their own, nappies, wipes etc? How do you charge for holidays either taken by yourself or the parents? I’d really appreciate people’s thoughts and opinions/experience. I don’t want to be seen as overcharging but at the same time I don’t want to be undercharging...many thanks x
