No, I think that you've agreed the terms of the contract with the parents now and it would go against both your contract (although specifies generically 'fees' parent might argue that it is an ambiguous term and therefore unenforceable if you use against last months fees) and general fairness to change the goalposts now. Plus it is highly likely you will annoy her before the child has even started. Best just to put it down to a lesson learned and change your sign up terms and contract for next time.
Ps have assumed from your post that you have already signed contracts and verbally agreed terms also with this family and I have advised as above accordingly. Is this the case?
Apologies for the random full stops. Phone buttons too small, thumbs too big.
