    I charge by the hour but offer 2 daily rates that work out a bit cheaper by the hour - one for a full day and one for the school hours 9-3:15(cos I can have a school age child before & after school using the same place, as long as only one of them needs the place in the holidays).

    Since I did that, everybody has booked the full days, regardless of what time they want to pick up.

    In this case I would charge from 11.15am-3.45pm, is this me being too soft & I need to charge purely by the hour or is this about right?

    Blimey, there's always something that you wonder if you are doing right!
    I would charge as you put as I charge 1/2 hour
