Childminders fees for siblings.

[Chrysanthamum]

I've got an 11 month yr old with a minder 3 days a week and think I'll have another soon. Is there normally a fee reduction for siblings or is that just wishful thinking? How do people cope on average salaries with more than 1 kid in childcare?

Thanks for all the tips/opinions. I've got time to weigh up all options. It did strike me to set up as a cm but I'm not sure how long we'll stay here- probably for years and years but I like to think I have the option of moving back to where I'm from or even heading for sunnier climes sometime and in that case it wouldn't be fair to let families down.

In my area you can earn that if you are full, gross of course, before expenses!

im in surrey i charge £4.00 an hour including food,activities etc and charge £6.50 for siblings.i have just put this up.i only work 9-3.
