Hello,
I have some parents interested in sending their son to me four days per week. They don't live in the same town as me so I have offered to do a collection for which I'll be charging half hour rate (do you think that's acceptable?)
One of their questions is regarding them having another baby. Although she's not pregnant yet, they're thinking of trying for another child. When she's on mat leave she'll be wanting to take her son out of my setting but then sending him back possibly with the new child if I had space. Would I charge them a retainer fee for the whole six months they took him out? That seems extautionate. However, I can't keep a place open for them if I don't charge can I? I'm also looking at losing out for six months.
Really want this contract. They're very impressed with me and want to take their son out of Nursery to be with me.
Thanks,
Emma x
