Please help me give my husband an objective view of childcare costs in London

[nevereverhaveiever]

We have a DD who is 1 year old and we live in central London. We want to get childcare in our house for her for 3-4 days a week for four hours each day.

I think that childcarers would expect at LEAST £10 per hour for their time, but husband is asking me to find someone who will charge less than that. Who is correct? I will show him this thread.

Is a half day at a nursery not an option? Or a childminder? Might be considerably easier to find

£10 p/h net for full time which equates to £13 p/h gross. London zone 2. Plus she has a credit card to put cost of activities, trips, stuff he needs, obviously food etc. It's not cheap. I think she has lunch on us too. Dobt resent a penny of it as she's awesome. I'd remind him you get what you pay for. Good luck.
