Just curious as to what people will be paying from September with 15 funded hours added? Haven't had the invoice yet so unsure but my bad maths have said about £500 ish before tax free discount. That's 2 full days 8-18:00. In the south east.
Nappies/wipes etc not included but meals & snacks are.

£320 for 2 days with the funding (Oxfordshire) ... It is £830 without the funding for 2 days. Includes all meals and nappies.

Obv that's not with funded hours - which is around £4/5ph is that right. So will need to top up each hour

I've just looked at a nursery local to
Me

£87.85 a day this is 730/630 so 11hrs

Includes all nappies wipes and 3 meals a day snacks so £7.98 an hour

So two days a week would be £175.70

And full time £439.25 a week

@Fishcake15 a nursery in the SE could well be over £100 PER DAY.

£65:for a childminder was normal in Yorkshire 10 years ago!

I pay £57 a day for Nursery in Yorkshire currently 😂. It's an outstanding graded Nursery. The South have it so Rough, it's ridiculous.

What? I'm an outstanding grade childminder with 15 years experience. I charge £65 per day which is perfectly in keeping with my area.

Very strange comment if you believe paying double constitutes more trustworthy care.

If you charge £65 per day, that's extortionate for a Childminder! Bloody hell, that's as much as a top standard Nursery. Your maths must be off them, OP is not paying double what you're charging.

My CM full time (5 days per week term time only) for my twins is around £275 per month per child small top up on top but that top up includes foreign language lessons and stay and play once a week

If you charge that little, I'm not sure I would trust you 100%. Sounds a fair going rate for Nursery.

That's a lot still no?

I'm a cm and that's about double what I would charge.

What do you pay now?
Is there a limit to how many hours that can be used per day?
Is it spread over 12 months (so actually only 11 a week?)

BusyCM · 26/06/2024 13:19

Just worked it out £254 for me.
