What does a childminder do?
A childminder provides childcare services for children, typically in the childminder's own home. They are responsible for creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for the children in their care. Some of the key duties and responsibilities of a childminder include:
- Supervising and ensuring the safety and well-being of the children.
- Planning and preparing age-appropriate activities and learning experiences that support the children's development.
- Providing nutritious meals and snacks, taking into account any specific dietary requirements.
- Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment, following health and safety guidelines.
- Assisting with toilet training and personal hygiene tasks, such as changing nappies and helping children with handwashing.
- Offering support and guidance with homework and educational tasks for school-aged children.
- Encouraging positive behavior and fostering the development of social skills.
- Communicating with parents or guardians regularly, providing updates on their child's progress, achievements, and any concerns or issues that may arise.
- Adhering to relevant regulations and legislation, such as those set by Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills) in England, which includes registering as a childminder and undergoing inspections to ensure compliance with standards.
Childminders in London may also provide additional services, such as drop-off and pick-up from school.

How much does a Childminder cost in London in 2024?
The cost of hiring a childminder depends on many factors including location. On average, part-time fees range from £6 to £10 per hour or around £130 per week. While flexible hours can be arranged, they might come at a premium, potentially increasing the rates. Childcare agencies often charge extra fees for their services, adding to the overall salary expenses. Yoopies, however, helps you avoid unnecessary agency costs.
What Affects Childminder Rates?
The costs involved depend on location, experience, type of service required and your child’s specific needs.
- Location: Rates can be higher in major cities due to the higher cost of living and greater demand for childcare services.
- Experience and Qualifications: Childminders who have taken courses and have extensive experience and qualifications tend to charge higher rates.
- Type of Service Required: Prices will be higher if you need a childminder who offers specialised services such as for children with special needs.

Childminders vs Nurseries
Choosing between a childminder and a nursery depends on your family’s specific needs. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:
- Personalised Attention: Childminders often care for fewer children at a time compared to nurseries.
- Home Environment: Childminders provide a home-like setting, which can be comforting and less overwhelming for young children.
- Flexibility: Childminders typically offer more flexible hours, accommodating non-standard schedules better than most nurseries.
- Specialised Care: If your child needs extra care, a childminder for special needs children can provide tailored care.

Martin L. We were incredibly lucky to have connected with Rea. She was very responsive, easy to communicate with and was reliable, and great with the kids. Rea gave us comfort from the moment we swapped messages and even more when we spoke to her on the phone and even more when we meet her. We have no issues recommending Rea and will certainly use her in the future when we are in London.
