how much does a CM cost?

[CarlyP]

Can someone help me please.

Will be needing a CM from Jan for 3 days per week, 7.30am-6pm tuesday-wednesday for my 2 boys who will be aged 2 and 3 yrs. they will both be going to pre-school from 9am-12pm on those days, so will need dropping off, picking up, lunch, tea and then ill collect them about 5.45pm. i live in essex.

would anyone be able to tell me a 'rough' cost for this?

thanks

also dont forget tax creidts one parent pays me £120 per week for 2 and gets £88 tax creidt

they says its now risen to 80%

have you tried childcare link - here

I charge £3.50 an hour and I'm in Berkshire. I do charge whilst at pre-school as can't fill the in between time. This is fairly standard.

HTH

we dont qualify for any working tax credit. we currently use a nanny for 4 days, but im cutting my hours, and the 3 days may work out better with a CM.

just had a look, thanks for that link.
will follow a few up nearer the time,

so would i be looking at around £150 per week, and there are 2 children?

I pay £4.40 per hour including food (plus activity/toddler group costs). I'm in Worcestershire.

BTW, my charge is per child however I offer sibling at £3 per hour. Just in case I confused you.

The average in St Albans is £5 per hour per child.

I am in Essex/London and have just started mat leave but charged £3.50 per hour. With all food and general outings. I usually take £15 at the big school hols for 'big' trips ie. zoo etc...

Most are about £3.50ish per hour here in stirling.

Hello, My daughter is in nursery two days a week for max £300 / month. Can I get child care for less £'s? We live in Tooting.
