My friend is 7 months pregnant. her Mother-in-law is a full time child minder.

Is it fair/acceptable for Grandma to charge her son & daughter-in-law £300 p/m for 9-5pm child care?

Be really interested in yr thoughts on this as I can't commit to an opinion!

Thanks ladies.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Oops apologies MarryPoppinsBag, I read it wrong

But I would still like to know how much those who think we earn to much, would like to pay for their child.

As I cant see the goverment subsidising childacare massivly any time soon, especially with people like Gove, and Truss about who havent a clue IMO.
Truss doesnt have any sort of background in education or the like yet appears to know whats best for childminders etc.

£300 per month for FT childcare is very reasonable.

It's win win for the family isn't it, because you can claim CTC/vouchers/whatever the new system is for registered childcare even if provided by family. But yes, GM should not be obliged to work for free if she's not loaded.
