I think they should just pay their normal daily rate. If the child is with you only before and after school on any given day then how do you justify charging them a full day rate? If since going to school in Sept his normal day with you is just after school then that's all they should pay you for. They pay the same as what they would if they were actually there for care that day and if he was there then it would be after school right? Obviously school is out so he would be there a full day if he came to you for the full two week school break but I think its a bit unreasonable to expect a full days pay for the stat when he is not a full time kid. It's not like they are choosing to take time off and you are still working. It's a stat and you are entitled to be paid but I think it's only fair to charge them the after school rate for the Xmas and new year stats.
