We work as childminders because we love caring for children and supporting their development. However, it is our chosen career and business, and like you, we have bills and expenses to meet each month. We would be grateful, therefore, if you could ensure that payment is made promptly each week/month, as agreed in your contract.
If we have not received payment within three days of the due date, we will issue you with a polite reminder. If we have still not received payment after five days, we reserve the right to charge an additional late payment fee to cover any bank charges that have been incurred. If at this point we still have not received payment we reserve the right to cease minding your child without notice, and seek legal advice.
If you have had a change in personal circumstances and are now struggling to make payments, please let us know so we can make suitable arrangements. It may be that you are now entitled to additional funding through the Working Tax Credit and/or other benefits.
