Childminders
The cost of a childminder
Childminder charges vary, so it's best to check, but they are generally a cheaper option than private day nurseries. Some childminders are also able to offer the free Early Years entitlement. Not all childminders are able to offer this so it's best to check that your childminder is able to offer a funded place, and also whether they accept childcare vouchers, offer a sibling discount, or slightly reduced session costs.
