Childminder Rates

One of the most common queries that Childminding Ireland deals with from parents is on childminding rates and fees. 

Every childminder is self-employed and is responsible for setting their own rates. 

The following are some of the factors which influence the childminding rate:

  • Meals/Activities: Is the childminder providing all meals or taking children to and from school or activities? 
  • Sibling Discount: Is the childminder caring for siblings? 
  • Hours Required: Do you need your child(ren) cared for fulltime, part time or after school hours?  Is it a term time arrangement or does it continue through the whole year?
