hi I am posting for my friend who is returning back to work in September. She lives in Streatham and would like to know what the average rates are per hour for childminders please. Thanks

I'd also be interested in childminder rates in Streatham for September.

Hello,
Just saw your post and thought I'd reply. Baby Elephants on Leigham court rd in streatham provides an excellent service if you're looking. I'm not sure about the rates but if you give them a call they'll tell you. Their number is : 0208 677 8644.

Regards,
Curlieann

Usually around £7 or £8 per hour per child in Balham so would assume that Streatham would be the same. Some offer different rates depending on hours (ie more hours, cheaper rate).

Hi there,

I'm a childminder and each childminder is different and sets their own rates as they are self employed and will need to decide what to include in the daily fee and how much they need to earn to make a margin of profit but also provide quality care/toys/outings/meals.

You could look on the Lambeth/Wandsworth Council family services section where most put their daily rates for you to see or ask potential carers what their rates are as you will find it will vary.

Good luck
