The lower end In my part of Fife, the average hourly rate is £3.50 per hour, and many of the CM's who charge that don't get many mindees.

Very good. Liked your sample menus, and the layout is good as well.
All my parents bring food, because they didn't want to pay the £1.50 per day extra for me to feed their child.
Where do you live, because i am moving there if that's what you charge for your hourl rate. Is that the average then for your area? If i tried to charge that much then i'd get no business
