So I had my first family round on Monday and they have come back and said they would like to sign up. Originally it was for 1 child 4y start September before and after school which was fine. She then comes round with 2 children. 4y and 2y old. She said they have a childminder at the mo but come Sep she won't be able to do drop off and pick up at the school. They have just moved to my village from a few miles away so currently still using their current childminder.
I was happy to keep a place open for 1x before and after school but to keep a full time place as well from 8-530 open for just over 4 months is quite a long time and poss loss of money for me!
Would you hold a place open for this long and if so what would you charge to hold it? I originally said I require 1 month payment to hold the place and that's when she mentioned that her 2y old will be coming as well! I currently do not have any children on my books as just set up.
Any advice would be great! :)
