I would have to charge full time fees to hold a spot. I have a mum who is expecting in Sept and asked about a holding fee to keep her 1 yr old's spot and a spot for the new baby. It worked out that 2 of my DCK will be leaving to start primary when she will want the baby to start so I told her as long as those kids don't leave before then, that their 2 spots will be hers. If that doesn't work out I will need to charge her full fees for the spaces. I just can't afford to have a full time space empty and be getting part-time fees for it.
