I have been asked to do a school pick up for two children from September, I will have them from 3.30-6pm

but also the parents would like me to have them full days in school holidays, I have no idea whatsoever how

much to charge as I have never done this before. I would appreciate childminders response/advice regarding

this matter.

Depending on how long you will be looking after the children you probably should look into registering as a child minder with the Care Inspectorate. http://www.careinspectorate.com/index.php/register-a-care-service/register-a-childminding-service


The site says: Childminders must, by law, register with the Care Inspectorate. The legal definition of a childminder is a person who works with children for more than 2 hours a day in the childminders own home for reward.

Hi Sally,


I am a registered childminder, I would like to know if anything extra is charged for school pick up or

is it just by hourly rate? also what would be the situation for school term time? is it normal to charge

full pay during this time because I have to keep the spaces open for these children?

Hi. I understand that the question is addressed to sally but as a chilminder i would Like to contribute and share my opinion. The price depends on yourself - how you would like to charge and the distance of your travel. Most childminders just charge a daily rate as drop off and pick up will take up a lot of your day. You also wont be able to to take another child on that day.

Hope this helps.

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
