i also have drop off's so i say to new parents that they will have to drop off earlier e.g 8.30 and collect later. say 3.30 and this would be there contracted hours so would have to pay the extra.
Also if its not alot of hours you could implement a minimum hours policy so regardless of how many hours she uses she has to pay for the set amount. I have one at 14 hours.

see if she can collect before hand - depending what time you have leave yours to collect your child or see if she can do it after 3pm,

same as the 9am drop off hun.

if you have no children then i think this child will be a good start for you.

good luck x

If you can't be there at 3pm then ask her to collect later - I would choose later rather than earlier because if she was late to pick up it might make you late for your own child.

Charging for a minimum number of hours also seems a good idea

Good luck with this - hope it works out for you
