Don't want to seem really thick but have seen some posts with the word adhoc in what does it stand for?

it means 'as and when' and usually childminders who do an adhoc contract only charge for the times the child attends and often the childminder is free to fill the place if someone else requires it.
I have had 'adhoc' arrangements with friends who might occasionally need their children collected after school. They only pay me for the hours their child is here and I am free to refuse care if I don't have space and in that case they must make alternative arrangements.
