Childminder in London rates

What's a decent hourly rate for a childminder that takes care of your baby at your own home?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

The location of the care is whether child's home or caregiver's home is what will make the difference in this case not the postcode.

ilovesouthlondon PPs are trying to explain the difference between childminders and nannies which the OP (and you) seems to have mixed up. Are you a childcarer?

Jannier....

I am aware of the location and rates connection. My point was I think the poster wants to know the rates (obviously with the various locations in London)

I know several childminders in London, they are £8ph, - Hackney, Islington and Highgate. Look on your local council website, some list their fees.

ilovesouthlondon.....

The type of care and the location are important as child-minders per child are a lot cheaper than a nanny so to say in London its £4.50 to £5 an hour is misleading....that is the rate of a child-minders in some parts of Hillingdon not a Nanny in Kensington.

Yes but we are talking about rates I think, not the location of care?

No, a childminder looks after children in the cm's home.
A nanny looks after them in the child's home and is employed by the parent ( usually)

That's for a nanny which is useful but I think poster is looking at London childminder rates x

I am in London and my nanny charges £12 gross per hour (she has my one year all day and my 4 year old from 4pm to 6pm). When I was interviewing last autumn rates varied from £11 to £14 gross. We are SE London zone 2 and I'm sure it varies depending exactly where you are.

You then need to factor in paying a payroll company, employers NIC, activities/food, extra utilities cost etc to get a true monthly cost.

Where in London are you based?

hibbledobble · 03/04/2017 02:38

Childminder (care in their home) varies widely according to London area. I have heard of prices from 35-100/day.

You mean a nanny which is a whole different ball game. You would be their employer. At least £12 net. A childminder in their own home would be £6-8 an hour.
