For parents who aren't aware, you can get information on prices etc. for your direct area from this website

'Includes Everything' - does that include Formula Milk? I would have thought that parents would always need to supply that themselves (or EBM).

We obviously can't provide expressed milk (well maybe some of us can!), but I will provide formula milk if a parent asks me to. It obviously has a limited shelf life, but that's just the way it is. I started providing everything, because you would be surprised how many people do not turn up with things their children need (nappies, milk, lunch, etc).

Yep, you'd be surprised. I've had one arrive with no shoes so had to go and buy some!

i'm a mum in london. i pay £7 per hour and absolutely everything and anything they do is included. this works for me as is so much quicker to get out of the door in the morning.

i found holiday charges varied the most - some parents i know pay their cm full rate for the child's holidays, AND full rate for the cm's 4 weeks holiday each year....i don't pay for cm's holiday and pay 50% for my dd's holiday days.

Stockport, £3.50 per hour includes everything except nappies.

looneytune. I'd say I can't take them without shoes. Not being funny but that just isn't on!
