Would the parents be expecting some kind of refund if they do more starting sessions instead of full days (seeing as they have already paid for the full days)? I wouldn't be wanting to agree to that personally. Maybe if the mum isn't yet back at work then she could come and collect baby an hour or two earlier - that way hopefully she wouldn't mind just losing out on a couple of hours worth of money, or if you decided to compromise on cost then it wouldn't be too much for you to lose out on. Do you think it is genuinely an anxious mum wanting to do more of the shorter sessions for the good of her baby (perfectly plausible and reasonable) or do you think it is a mum who might be wanting to chop and change/negotiate regularly?
