Hi ,
I mind a little boy who is now 1 yr for 32 hrs a week . He was 6 months when he first came to me so his mum used to provide all his formula milk and then his jar food . Now tho he is eating mostly the smae food as us so his mum has suggested she gives me extra money so i provide his lunch and snacks . This makes perfect sense to me adn i'm fine with it . But the problem is that i also care for 2 4 yr olds (9 hrs a week) and i don't charge for there lunch and snacks . not sure why really ! just seemed like a good idea at the time lol . So , i feel bad cos i'm charging the one who pays the most and not the others . And in the holidays i have one of the four yr olds for longer and his sisiter so obviously they eat even more . Hmmmmm..... Think i might starting charging them for food after all , but would the parents be annoyed if i did this ? and how much do people charge ? At my childrens school its £1.53 a day just for lunch so i guess if i charged that and provided snakc s thats not too bad . BUt could i justify that if i'm just doing a sandwhich lunch ? Sorry for babbling lol . Thoughts please xx
