Childminders
Hi, hope all your LO's are well.
I'm going to be using a neighbour as my childminder, she is well known by us and everyone in the close, and she has worked in childcare for 10+ years (at a nursery) and has just decided to become a childminder in her own home....bonus for us dropping lo off every morning, and saves us the hassle of having to search for one.
The reason for my post....what should we expect from a childminder for the fee we will be paying, i.e. food, nappies, pram/buggy, car seat etc?? Is there a bear minimum that they should provide or is it individual rules? ?
Thanks in advance for your help

As for trips out, I am lucky that I hold annual passes for myslef and any child under 3 gets in free, other than these places we will be visiting the sure start centers and the toddler groups which only cost ??1 so I wouldnt be asking a fee for these. If i wanted to do a bigger trip somewhere which did cost I would ofcourse ask parents permission firstly and also a contribution towards the cost, just as they do at most nurserys x
Just ask her what she prefers, the fact she has just started suggests she wont have hard and fast rules

With our childminder, we supply nappies, wipes and spare clothes. I send a bottle of suncream with her on sunny days too, but on the few days I have forgetten the childminder has just used her own no questions asked.
My childminder supplies all 3 meals and snacks, beaker, pram and car seat. She has slightly older kids of her own though, so just happens to have enough of the right equipment for my LO to use.
