Who it's for
Who this childminding pack is for
Childminding fees have to cover your hours, meals, outings and the costs of running your home setting. This Excel workbook works a price out from your time, your hourly rate, food and activity costs with a markup and a fixed fee, with VAT optional, so you can test a rate before you quote it.
- Childminders setting an hourly or daily rate that covers food and activities.
- Childminders checking whether a sibling or term-time rate still covers costs.
