I knew this would happen...

Three of mine are moving on to school/nursery come September. They are being replaced with younger siblings, which is lovely, but...now the parents are reflecting on the logistics of dropping off/collecting the older child from school and trying to co-ordinate it with collecting younger ones from me and are requesting slight changes to their hours with me - just half an hour later in the morning, or half an hour earlier in the evening, but it is all adding up and will take a sizable chunk out of my income.

It's not enough of a change for me to give them notice and get someone new in. Equally, it doesn't mean I can start later or finish earlier as they don't all want changes on the same days, so I will be opening earlier and staying open later for fewer children, if you see what I mean. So annoying.
