There have been a few comments about charging when children are in nursery / playschool of late
I did say that I was lucky enough to have another child to take the place of the little boy whom is at nursery so I have never charged for the time the little boy is at nursery
I do think that you are right to charge just that up till now I have been lucky enough not to do that
It got me thinking though I could be in that position myself this time next year when one of the children I mind goes to nursery I do not know what my situation will be then so it could end up that I need to charge for the time he will be at nursery when he start
My question is ...
The parent whose child will be going to nursery in the future gets working tax credits so they / the tax office pay a large percentage of her childminding fees
If he is at nursery though they will not pay her money to pay me because I will not be having the child and I know she would not be able to pay me herself for hours that I am not really having him if you get what I mean
Does anyone mind a child that is in nursery ?
Do you charge for the time the child is there?
Who pays the fees does the parent have to pay themselves?
If you do have a child in nursery and you do charge and your parent is receiving working tax credits can anyone tell me how this works. Do the working tax credit still pay them for their childcare fees?
Thats where my soft side comes in I'm afraid .... example how can I charge for something that I'm not doing if the parent is on a low income and receiving no help ??
Even though I know you are all right and I should charge
Hope I have made myself clear about what I mean
Thanks
