I've had this before several times. I proceeded by explaining the problem to the parent - I really wanted them so I said I was happy to accept a retainer of they definately wanted to hold the space - this was a lot (3 days per week at half price) but they definately didn't want to loose the space.
Another family didn't want to pay the retainer (understandably)so I suggested I kept in contact with them and let them know of anyone else wanting the same space. When this happened they then had to decide whether to pay the retainer or loose the space. They decided to pay the retainer.
