I'm after some advice please/wondering wot you all do.
Basically I am redoing my contract and increasing my fees, I havent increased since I started 2 years ago.
I feel some (but not all) parents are taking advantage and I need to get tough.
At present I charge an hourly rate which works fine for the pre schoolers.
For before and after school I am thinking of charging a set fee and charging for tea.
Do you all have standard rates or do you charge depending on hours needed ect?
Any advice would be helpful as I hate the money side of this job but I'm beginning to hate the fact that people think I'm a charity more!
