Just wondering what other mums pay for afterschool care of three children? Hoping to find someone to pick up my kids and mind them five days a week, but need to figure out if I can afford it first! Thanks in advance.

hi, as far as i´m aware, after school programs can charge anything from 130- 180 per month. be sure to assess the activities, homework, play, arts, musical etc... see what it is exactly you will be paying for before you make your decision.

alternatively you could ask a childminder who could charge the same or less for the same services. you could get a childminder who will mind your children and do just that also. you pay for what you get basically. (NO offense to anyone who does is because they are at home anyway, not doing it for the money)_
