cost of family day care

[visitor1]

It depends on what your CCB % is.

DD1 goes 2 days a week, It doesnt cost alot. We are on a set contract so regardless if she attends we still have to pay (unless its a public holiday or the carer cant have her due to reasons). Anything before and after a certain time attracts a higher hourly rate ( i think its before 7am and after 6pm) at my FDC.

DD1 goes 930am-430pm Mon and Fri.
Our hourly rate is about $6.75 but im not 100% on it.

the family day care I checked out was charging $45 for the day regardless of how long you had your child in for they never offered an hourly rate. So if I put her in for 4 hours it would still cost me $45. that is before the CCB of course, does this sound right? They did mention that if I left her on public holidays or after / before a certain time I would be charged more.
