Hello all,
Please could you give me your advice about charging during school holidays.
I really am a bit confused how to charge when I haven't got the children - by the way at the moment I've got 2 children - drop off/pick up from school.
I've recently agreed to have them full-time in the week.
They had a previous childminder but can no longer look after them.
Anyway, I presumed that during the school holidays you charged a small fee so that it reserves there place (retainer!?)
But when I asked the parent if her previous childminder charged her during the school holidays she didn't. She wouldn't want to pay if the children are not being childminded.
The way I looked at it was that you charged say 50% of the fee during these times. I do realise childminders are all different but this is what I wanted to do.
I'm now thinking about the long summer holidays & not getting anything!
Could someone please in detail tell me how you charge when you haven't got the children in all ages??
Thank you ever so much, x
