Hello, I am looking into options for childcare and it is between a nursery and a childminder. I have experience with the nursery and understand what options they are offering, but cannot seem to find much info on childminders.
I only seem to see posts that say £6 per hour or of sort.
Do they offer reduced full day fees or is it always calculated by hour? Is there a difference if a child goes full time and a full week? Is there a charge for additional resources (apart from food/nappies) What happens if they go on holiday, do parents still pay them and do parents take same dates as the CM off. I know that every CM will be different, but just wanted to figure out what is generally acceptable.
It seems to imply that CM care is just that bit less expensive, but with £6 an hour plus food nappies possible other fees etc, for the hours that I work nursery works out cheaper with all inclusive. So not sure if I just don't know something?
Thank you
