Childminder
Childminders whose hourly fees haven't kept pace with food, nappy and resource costs — and who take funded hours at face value — can be running the week at a hidden loss. This Premium pricing calculator makes the real picture visible. Eight income lines come pre-loaded — hourly and daily childminding fees, before- and after-school care, holiday club care, overnight care where registered, government-funded 15- and 30-hour places, additional charges for meals and outings, sibling discounts, and emergency short-notice care — each with editable ratio and resource cost. Enter your hourly rate once and every income line rebuilds with margin shown alongside. A quote builder handles new placements, a daily log tracks attended hours, an expenses tracker keeps food and resource spend visible, and a monthly dashboard shows which streams actually pay. Delivered as one Excel workbook for UK childminders — price against your real costs.
