Child been with me a year, all is good. Child attends 6 hours. Parent decided a couple of months ago that on "some" days they need a later finish by one hour (personal reasons rather than work) so asked if they could flex an hour but they tell me at drop off. This was ok at first and i agreed to it. However now i have new children starting and this is difficult because i can never fully plan my day in advance because ive no idea what time this child will finish. Is it ok to tell them we either need to contract the new finish time or stop doing it?
Advantages to me are it makes me extra money because all the later finishes soon add up.
Disadvantages are i cant plan properly and get new children in to a set routine.
Also i think they are taking the P1ss a bit - either they need it or they dont and if they do it should be contracted.
What would you do?
