I recently signed up a 12y meant to be before and after school mon-fri, when she came with mum to meet me, they said oh we forgot she has dancing mon & tue so won't need to come after school those days. Fair enough, she was due to start yesterday at 7am and didn't show, I sent a text about 8am and got a reply half an hour later saying thy'd slept in so she was heading straight to school. Again today she didn't show so I texted and got a reply saying she won't be coming today, no apology etc, then later I get another text saying I need to chat about changing hours x doesn't want to come to you in the morning so it will just be after school, is that ok? I haven't replied yet and don't really know what to do.
I charge £10 a day for after school sessions but she is at secondary school so will walk here, probably not getting to me until nearer 5pm. The only older mindee I have is 9y and doesn't come friday after school, I just don't know whether to cancel completely, I'm not convinced it's worth £30 a week to introduce another (potentially stroppy if my last mindee this age is anything to go by) mindee into the mix, it also means I'll be tied to the house after school waiting for her to arrive, so no more trips to the park etc. So, what would you do? I'm not desperate for work really, have filled my under 5 places and have one before/after schooler anyway who fits in well but would prob appreciate some older company.
Thanks x
