Our current nursery have always done it without charging any premiums. After all, the nursery is getting extra money anyway.

Yes this would be great as I don't have any family local to rely on for last minute childcare.

That would definitely be very helpful esp. for mums who have to rush off on a given day ...

We at www.CarrotCakeNursery.co.uk are more and more coming across potential customers who want a great degree of flexibility from a nursery.

We already are happy to change days when parents request it providing we have adequate staff cover. Now we have had an enquiry about being able to book sessions at short notice.

So, this is really a bit of market research. Would parents like a arrangement where they could ring up the nursery early in the morning and book their child in for an extra day or half day? We would probably charge a small premium, as it would on occasion mean pulling in extra staff.

We would be interested to see what parents/carers think!!
