Childcare fees as of September

[staringatthedoor]

Just curious as to what people will be paying from September with 15 funded hours added? Haven't had the invoice yet so unsure but my bad maths have said about £500 ish before tax free discount. That's 2 full days 8-18:00. In the south east.
Nappies/wipes etc not included but meals & snacks are.

£60 is too much for a childminder compared to what they get at Nursery IMO but I'm not paying you so each to their own.

You said if I charged that little, you're not sure you'd trust me 100%.

And then weirdly backtracked and said I was extortionate!

Clearly either on a wind up, or trying to be deliberately insulting.

To clarify, neither of your statements are true. I charge exactly the same as other cms in the area (nurseries are 80-95) and I am indeed very trustworthy.

Minus the funding the OP is asking about?

I assumed OP meant she would be paying £500 per month not per week.

I think the post is ambiguous.

I assumed the child is attending 20 hours, 15 of which will be funded.

I think £500 is quite a lot for 5 hours per week? Even monthly that's over £100/week.

So you wouldn't trust us if we charged too little but you're clearly not happy if we charge too much. Sounds like a wind up!

I was a childminder in Yorkshire until ten years ago. I charged £40 a day

What do you feel is missing in a cm from a nursery?

But your housing and commercial premises are lower so rates have to be higher down south to cover it. I could buy a 5/6 bed detached with land if I sold my pokey 3 bed in a shitty area and moved north

For those that asked its standard rate is £90 a day. Funded hours 'fee' is 3.50 an hour.
Can stretch the hours over the year so works out at 11 a week. So currently it's just over 700 a month before discount. When my eldest had 30 hours there a few years ago I still payed 260.

Yes they have said £3.50 an hour for those on funded hours.

Currently we pay £800+ a month for 4 days at nursery. In September tge hours will kick in and DS will start preschool so will be £41 a week. Nursery charge for lunch and a consumable fee on top of the funded hours (£10 a day plus £4 for lunch) so we would only save around £200 if he was at nursery when the hours kick in.

Mine is £320 ish after tax free for 2 days a week

Are you claiming the tax free childcare?
