hi, i have a mother coming with her daughter in the morning to chat about her child starting next week.
she is 4 years old and i will only be required to work 1 hour each day tuesday-friday plus school holdays.
I charge £3.50 per hour but thats only £14 per week, would it be cheeky to say i will charge £5 per day for this child even though i didn't mention anything about extra on the phone, didnt even do the maths in my head until i put the phone down.

If you told her £3.50 on the phone it could be a bit tricky. If no amount was mentioned I don't see there would be a problem!

Yes it think it is quite common to have minumim hours / charge.

From September, you are opening a before and after school club...
The minimum fee will be £5 which includes collection and travel to and from school, plus a healthy drink and snack...
For children staying over 1 hour, you can offer the bargain price of £xx per hour, which includes all of above plus a healthy tea ...
How does your new pricing structure sound? :laughing:
