A parent has reduced the hours her child comes to me from 20 1/2 hours over 2 and a half days to 17 hours over 1 day and 2 half days as she is now receiving funding at playgroup. On a Tuesday I will be having the child 8am to 1pm and on Thursdays 12.30pm until 5pm. It is very unlikely that I will fill the vacancy I now have for the remainder of the 2 half days.
The mum has today asked me if I would be able to collect her child from playgroup at 12.30pm on a Thursday instead of dropping her off to me as she has the chance to work all day. This will mean I collect another child from my local playgroup at 11.30am come home for 15mins and then walk for 25 mins to collect her child. ( I have said I will think about it)
This is a parent that was most annoyed when I increased my rates after 2 years by 20p an hour. How would you charge? eg for full days ... the mother is in receipt of tax credits.
