N.B  Childminding carries a higher than average expenditure; when setting fees, some of the costs Childminders need to include are income tax and national insurance (we are self employed and therefore liable for our own contributions), OFSTED registration and renewal fees, public liability insurance, increased insurance cover on both our home and car, petrol and car maintenance and appropriate equipment i.e. carseats, pushchairs, prams, highchairs, increased electricity, gas and water, home phone and mobile bills, advertising, cleaning and laundry costs, purchase or hire of suitable toys, books, equipment and the repair/replacement of lost or damaged items,increased wear and tear to property and furniture, groceries, stationery and toiletries.  Our wage is what is left after all these expensives have been taken from the fees.

All fees are payable in advance (either weekly or monthly) by cash or cheque, and charges are rounded up to nearest half an hour. I can also accept Child Care Vouchers which more and more business are starting to take advantage of.

Are you eligible to claim up to 80% of your childcare costs? Call Tax Credits Helpline to find out 0845 300 3900.

PLEASE NOTE:  IF ARREARS OCCUR I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CHILDCARE UNTIL ALL FEES ARE PAID UP TO DATE.
