my daughter is now three and down at my local childrens centre they are now offering 3 days a week 9 till 2 which is great but i am thinking all the children i look after are coming up to playschool age and if they decide to do the longer hours i am wondering what to charge what i have normally done is said if i am taking them and picking them up i charge for them at playgroup and once they go to school i dont charge. With these new hours it is not far off a school day and my parents could probably drop them off and i would just pick them up and then i would probably be only getting about three hours work, has any one had to do this would like some advice please.

Charge a minimum daily fee - mine is now £25 for under 5's

I do a minimum of 4 hours but I think £25 is a good idea as it stops being messed about for very short sessions
