How much do you charge and what do your charges include?


Tiny Hands Childminding hourly rate is very competitive and covers the majority of most daily expenses:

Breakfast, lunch and a AM and PM snack.

Drinks.
Travel costs.

Admissions to play groups.



I have various ways I which I work out my fees, these depend on the care needed, term time only or part time hours for example.  My standard hourly rate is £3.90 (April 2017) per hour with a minimum daily charge of 4 hours care.  This hourly rate is applicable for all age ranges.



I am also registered with many different companies to enable you to make payments through childcare voucher scheme and also the new HMRC Tax Free Childcare Scheme.  Don't worry if I am not registered with your employers voucher scheme, I can register with them too.



I am also a accredited childminder which means I am part of the Bradford Council Quality Assurance Programme.  Being part of this scheme means that your child is able to claim the 15 hours free (this will be rising to 30 free hours from September 2017) childcare per week (term time).  This is available for all children the term after there 3rd birthday.  Some two year olds are also able to claim 15 free hours, just contact me for more details.

​

Being part of the Quality Assurance Programme also means I am routinely audited by Bradford Councils Education department to ensure the level of care that I provide, matches and exceeds the Department Of Educations guidance for Childminders, Nursery's, Schools and Preschools.
