Fees for child at Nursery?

[saintsue]

Morning everyone

I have a parent that wants a place from September but she wants me to take her child to nursery for 9 then pick her up at 12 and have her till 6. Do you alll charge for the full day? Thanks Sue xxx

Yes i change the full day as i can't fill those hours while they are at nursery. X

I would charge for the full day. I explain to parents that the space I offer a full day place. If they chose to send their child to nursery during that time, that's their choice, but the full day has been booked with me so need to be paid for.

I don't charge for the full day, only the time they are with me.

I make it absolutely clear to the client that I am only obliged to be available during the contracted and paid-for hours. So if nursery/preschool has an emergency closure, I have no obligation to fill that void; if I can do it, then there'll be an additional charge.

I would charge for the full time.

I would charge for the full time place as you wont be able to fill the 3 hours.

I always charge as i explain to parents they are taking up a place i cant offer to anyone else.

If I drop off and collect then I charge for the full time. The parent is paying for the space and if nursery is closed, inset day, school hols etc then they will need those 3 hrs with me. It's quite normal to do it this way, around here anyway.
