Is this a reasonable childminding cost?

We have found a childminder we like for 4yo DD. We are in the south of England but not London. We need to drop off at 8am and collect at 6pm, but DD will be at preschool for 4 hours of this (CM will drop her off and collect her). CM is quoting £50 per day, not including food. I was expecting less, but does that sound reasonable? Thanks.

I must be lucky I pay £28 for 8 hours and it's £1 for lunch and snacks

We are in Cambridgeshire and pay £40 per day including food so that does sound fairly reasonable. We paid for the place even if DS was at preschool as it is a place they can't fill with another child ( especially half days)
