As a self-employed childminder, it’s important you set out your pay and conditions carefully before agreeing to a contract with a parent.
Our Pay & Conditions guide (available when you
login to the Membership Dashboard) provides SCMA members with information on best practice, how to organise your business and how to avoid the potential pitfalls. The guide also contains guidance on contracts, holidays, notice periods, fees and retainer fees.
Knowing how much to charge can be tricky decision, but our Pay & Conditions guide gives you details of the average rates of pay for childminders across different areas of Scotland, which you can use as a benchmark.
Without your feedback, this information would not be available - the figures come directly from our annual Pay & Conditions survey, which is now open for childminders to complete.
