Do you care for neighbours and friend's kids?

Do the parents think it's just a friend going over to play or do they treat it as Childcare? It kinda sounds like a play date to me but maybe I'm misunderstanding!!

That could very well be that they consider it as a playdate which would be acceptable if very occasional like before.
But now he comes to our house because his older brother does extra curricular activities 2 or 3 times a week, and unable to pickup when the bus drops him off. He gets off at my son's stop so I pick them both up to come here. So to me it's now a childcare situation. What do you think?

I'd say childcare. Not a play date....playdates with snacks 2/3 times a wk? No thank u!

Talk to the parent and let them know that you have to start charging them by such a date if he continues to come to daycare as you have to watch your ratio of children and when he is here he is stopping you from having a paying client
