Breakfast, Lunch and snacks are included in my fees, but I charge £1.75 for tea. This is purely to put people off asking me to feed their children at tea time though because I like to eat with my own family at 6pm when hubby comes home and don't want to have to make 2 teas.

I charge 2.00 for tea to put people off wanting me to feed their children as I also like to eat with my hubby and children together.All other food is included.

My hourly fee includes snacks and drinks but meals are extra.

So far, everyone brings a packed lunch which suits me just fine

And I only have 1 mindee here at tea time, twice a week. She is 1 but still has jars so Mum just sends one of them along. I dont have any here for breakfast.

Breakfast, morning snack, lunch and after school snack are all included in my fees. I don't do any dinners at the moment and not sure I want to. Guess if someone came along and it all worked out, I'd do it for £2.00 (because the child would just eat what we are having and my dinners are all pretty darned good, lol).

I include breakfast (for children here at 8am) and all snacks. Lunch is a cooked meal at £1.50 and I will provide a light tea (sandwiches, jacket potatoes, soup) for £1.00

since i started i have never charged for snacks , drinks , lunch its all in the price . but have stated to the parents that after school i will give them a snack or sanwich ect , but will not cook as i too have my dinner when they have gone with my family . i tried at first to charge a price for dinners so parents would be put off to ask me to cook but they still wanted to pay & me cook so i changed it x

**deeb66** · 22-03-2008, 05:02 PM

I don't charge any extra for any food it is all in my hourly rate.

I provide breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and evening meal.

**applesmum** · 22-03-2008, 07:52 PM

Thank you for all the great advice - I planned on charging £3.25 an hour - I just thought that if I included food in this it was a bit of a bargin - perhaps I'll have to consider £3.50 per hour...... anyone any advice on this???

Oh I can't wait until I've got this set in my own mind - I've just had a look on our local CIS website for other minders rates in the area and there are none stated so no guidence to be found there!
