For all day children I charge an hourly rate, no one attends for less than 9 hours a day. They all seem to be on different rates as my 3&half yr old, who has been with me from 6 mths old hasnt had one rise, but a new toddler is charged higher and their rate propably won't rise either. This doesn't bother me because if/when they become before/after school care the hourly rate rises a lot. Term time only children, all day & before/after school care, all pay half during the holidays but I'm finding that parents do sometimes want childcare and then will pay the other half for the day their child attends. So I'm always aware I need to have a space for them when booking in children during the holidays.
