    Default Discount for siblings?

    What does everyone do if they are looking after two children from the same family with regard to charging?
    Do you charge full price for both or give a discount to one? If you give a discount how much is this?
    This is the first time I've had siblings so a bit unsure, I have a meeting with them next week so wanted to be sure of what I'm going to do with regard to this.


    Thanks in advance!

    I know many people don't give discounts as 2 siblings still eat as much, use as much, need a much paperwork etc as 2 non related children but I offer a discount of 50p/hour for the oldest child if BOTH children attend for a minimum of 25 hrs a week.
    It works for me.

    Thank you, after reading your reply loocyloo and looking at the oter posts on this topic, I've decided not to offer a discount.
    As people have said, I will still be offering the same level of care, paperwork will still need to be completed and also they are filling a space that could be full price from another child.
    This has definitely cleared up the issue for me!
    Thanks
