Busy Buzy Bumblebees

My Vacancies

I am currently on maternity leave after having another baby in May 2010 but have taken the decision to start advertising vacancies at my setting. There are potentially new and exciting changes ahead for Busy Buzy Bumblebees which mean vacancies are available ahead of 2011 as originally planned. If you would therefore be interested in a vacancy with me, please call and leave a message. Alternatively, send me an email with your requirements and we can discuss your childcare needs in more detail.

I endevour to reply to all enquiries received within 48-hours of receiving them. If however you require a response earlier than this, please contact me by telephone on one of the numbers listed below.

This information was updated on Monday 26th July 2010.

Fees

My fees are set out on a daily rate although an hourly rate is also available for circumstances such as half days. For details of my full rates, please get in touch using the 'Contact Me' page.

I have found it more effective to offer parents an 'all in' fee relieving parents of having to bring daily items for their child. My all in fee includes:

· Breakfasts, snacks, lunches and all drinks

· Mileage when taking children to toddlers groups;

· Wipes, creams and disposable nappy bags;

· Formula and dairy milks

· Craft materials

· Toys and equipment

· Toddler group admission fee

· General trips out and entry fees

· Mileage for any trips out

The quotation fee you will receive is the childminding fee you will pay per day or per week. There are no added extra costs for special outings as it’s all included in my 'all in' fee.

My fees do not include:

· nappies, disposable or re-useables

· evening meals, i.e. dinner

· transportation costs for collecting from or dropping a child at home

· termly preschool, playschool or nursery fees

My Payment Terms

Payment is required in advance, i.e. Monday for the week ahead. Payment can be made weekly or monthly but will always be required in advance. Should a place be required at Busy Buzy Bumblebees, you will be asked to pay a deposit to hold your child’s place and this will be deducted off your last month’s fees should you wish to terminate with me.

Ways to Pay

My preferred method of payment is by bank transfer or standing order however, I do accept:

· Direct Debit / Standing Order

· Cash

· Childcare Vouchers

· Online Banking

ALL FEES ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE

Failure to pay on the agreed date is breach of your contract and will therefore incur a late payment fee on a daily basis until fees are paid in full. Late payment may also lead to the loss of your childcare place with Busy Buzy Bumblebees Childminding.
