Hi fellow childminders,
Just wondering who of you start charging the minute you leave the house to do a school pick up? Specially if the journey is at least about 15 minutes or more?
I've been told that is general how most childminders do it as you would not be doing the journey if you weren't picking the kids up and it is your working time that you use to do the journey (plus these 15 minutes do add up).
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated as none of my parents have ever complaint about this however I just had an enquiry and the lady said she's never heard of a childminder doing this.
My Early Years Consultant was actually the one who told me that I should charge as it is my time.
Thanks
