I have recently joined a committee for a local village playgroup, and been put 'in charge' of the waiting list. Apparently, they have never really needed a waiting list, as demand has never been high enough to warrant one, but an increase in demand has meant that for the first time we are 'overbooked'.
So, for example, one mum whose DS already attends has stated last year that she wishes her DD to start attending in April when her DD turns 2, so her two children attend together. Does that mean we have to keep that place open, so we are effectively one child short, until April? That is revenue that we definitely could be getting in between now and April, and as a small charity playgroup we are highly dependent on this revenue.
Yet it seems to me to be not right to not keep this place available. How do nurseries deal with this?
Thank you!
