It's possible that in future I may need to charge a parent their fees (full + retainer) on a monthly basis averaged out over a year as she is a teacher and it would be great all round to know the costs will be the same each month.
So, lets assume the contract starts in September and they leave my care, (maybe a couple of years later) in march say (half way through the year). Clearly these six months are mostly childminding as the Easter and summer holiday hours aren't included. Would anybody be cheeky enough to work out the real cost of the minding and charge extra when they leave me or just say "that's the way the cookie crumbles".
Sorry I'm a bit of a worrier and also I think I would feel a bit used.
Not sure if this makes sense to anyone.
Can anybody wise me up?
cheers
