My Fees

  • Childminding from £6.00 per hour

No payment for Bank holidays, or Christmas or any other holidays when I'm not working.

Free settling -in session

Clear, correct invoices will be sent monthly as per your preferred payment.

Limited funded places for 3 year olds.

TAX-FREE childcare scheme will give you back another £25% from your bill.
My hourly rate includes our day trips, craft supplies, presents, all snacks ( only lunch you will need to bring).

As an example of My Monthly Prices , if your child is full time Monday till Friday 8am till 5pm , and you have 15 hours Funding , than your bill would be around six hundred per month.
If you child has 30 hrs Funding, than your bill would be around three hundred and fifty per month.
Also, you should take off the 25% when you are registered with Tax free childcare

Barbara is great!! My son attended Barbara's setting for nearly 12 months. He's communication skills came on great whilst at barbaras, she always kept me informed how.he was getting on every day and things he discovered he liked. Barbara was always foing something with the children whether that be days out, park or craft work.. Barbara always accommodated our needs. Honestly, if you can choose this childminder then do! You won't be disappointed. I have certainly made a friend for life and my son also has friends with her family.

I work at the Alexandra hospital and needed my son to be collected from school from the first phone call she was great. My son has been going to Barbara for a few weeks now she picks him up from Woodrow first school. He is so happy there and from the first visit we were made to feel so welcome. He has an amazing time there and can’t wait to go everyday. I would highly recommend.
