Childminder rates - SE London

Hi all,
I'm an NNEB qualified childminder and mother of 3.
I have just finished 9 months maternity leave and am looking to return to work as a childminder.
I have now been CM for 7 years, but have 12 years childcare experience.
I just feel at a loss with knowing what to charge. Can anyone help?
I find it really hard to increase my fee's so I've been working for pretty much the same rate for years and i thought as I'm now starting a fresh i should see what others consider to be a good hourly rate.
TIA

Thanks bigdonna - it seems little has changed fee wise even though everything costs more! Grin

In Surrey I pay £6 per hour, but that includes food and trips. No sibling discount either.

SE London is a big area so can you be more specific? In my area it can range from £4 -£6.50 an hour average day rate being £50
