how much does a childminder charge?

[nikki81]

can anyone help, i need to know how much a childminder chargers for a day, say from 7.30am to 7pm?

in lincolnshire we must be the poor relations of the childminding world ! i charge £2.60 p/hr, including drinks and snacks. for a full time place i would set a weekly fee that works out slightly less per hour than my ususal rate.

these are about average charges for cm's in my area, although i think most people i know would charge more for 'unsocial' hours - which would probably be after 6pm.
