    Default parent just picked up

    I have had this little one since he was 6 months old and he is 2 now, he comes 5 days a week 8 am - 1pm.

    Mum told me she was trying to get him a nursery place beside me (she lives about 5 miles away) so today i gave her a list of what i would be charging her if Lo went to nursery beside me this is what i told her.

    MORNING NURSERY PLACE
    If he comes 8 am (as normal) i take him to nursery and pick him up at 12 give him his lunch then she collects him from mine at 1 it is £20 per day.

    AFTERNOON NURSERY PLACE
    He comes to mine at 8am (as normal) i have him till 12 noon take him to nursery and she icks him up from there it is £20 per day.

    Or the option of me having him 8am -9am me taking him to school and her just paying £5, i dont pick him up and i dont keep his place open for school hols.

    Does this sound far enough to people because the look on her face was great.

    Or should i of done it differently.

    Does she normally pay £5 per hour? Thats £4 an hour isn't it is that what she normally pays sorry reading quickly!! sounds fine to me.
    This is something I always have written in my fees when they first come though so maybe she thought she didn't have to pay, or maybe she had forgotten

    I'd charge if i have to take and collect from nursey, especially if they want that space during school holidays.
    I would just charge what i normally chrage.

    It sounds fair to me but I wouldnt want to risk tying a place up for one hour a day. What if you get a potential full timer that wants to start at say 7.30?
