Question about holding spots

[apples and bananas]

I don't hold spaces until i'm 3 months before the space opens up.

I'm currently working on a client who has their child in my care, but wants to remove him for mat leave and then have space held for both when she returns. I've worked out a fee to hold the spot and that will also allow her to bring her child for 2 days ( I can afford the lighter load for a year ) I also have one leaving this year for school but I happen to have a newbie who only needs 1 year of care so it just worked out that the spot will be there for her in a years time.

You can't hold a spot that long it costs too much, but you could try to advertise for a 1 year position... short term... part time... and see what comes up.
