Are you a childminder getting paid £7.50 an hour per child?

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

Just curious.

only in my dreams!

Bloody wish

Come on then lets have it

Umm

That would be no

Gosh most of my parents don't get paid that much an hour

is this to humour me????

is it the DM taking the piss out of underpaid and overworked cm's

I am not humouring you, allgonebellyup. I am curious as to whether what you are paying is the norm as I had heard it was more like £2.75-£4.50 an hour.

Oh I see linked to the other thread

what all this about then baker?

I'm intrigued nosy

I feel sorry for agbu as it sounds like her cm has really taken her for a mug and I was interested to know if anyone else is fleecing charging as much as agbu's cm is.

oh right I understand now

can't be of any help at all though as I dont know anyone who uses a childminder

I wish, is that in surrey then?

I wish, I am CM and have never heard of anyone getting that much!!

Where do you live allgonebellyup?

Must be London - as in Surrey/Berkshire border area it isn't that high.

No I'm in surrey, not that much here

the most expensive i've seen in London is £60/day or £6/hour. I paid £35/day for a childminder in central London (Waterloo).

Mine charges 6 pounds an hour but it is in London and in an area where there more parents in need of cm than cm in need of mindees.

going rate round here seems to be £3.75-£5 per hour

I am in West Kent

My new minders are charging £6.25 and I do know of one who charges £7. West Herts

£3.40PH BUT SESSION FEES APPLY FOR BEFORE/AFTER SCHOOL FOR HOWEVER LONG YOU NEED IT YOU PAY THE SESSION FEE.

damn caps sorry!

Well - deep breath - I'm in London, and I'll be paying £9 an hour. The CM is just having my daughter and her son (3 weeks age difference) - so is more like a nanny really. It works out at £1 an hour more than the cheapest nursery in the area. That covers everything - food, nappies, days out, etc.
