I open early because no one else opens as early as I do and therefore I'm full and stay full because parents need the early drop off to get into the city. I open at 6:45, But I close at 4:30. I used to be open till 5:30 and i aloso used to look after a child part time till 6 .... I hated it. So I gradually backed up my closing time as families left and I replaced with families that were able to pick up by 430. However I am still open almost 10 hours.
