How much does a childminder earn?
As a childminder you could earn between £25,000 to £70,000 a year. Let us explain how.
There are lots of variables that determine how much money you can earn as a childminder:
- Your hourly rate
- How many hours a week you work
- How many weeks a year you work
- If you ask parents to continue paying your fees whilst you’re on holiday
- How many of your own children you care for and how old they are (as this affects your care ratios)
- How many children you care for, and how many weeks a year they attend your setting (ie will older children attend for term-time only or holidays too?)
- If you work with an assistant to allow you to take care of more children
