Ok can you help me with wording this please

[Saltire]

I want to alter the contract with non sleeper's mum when it comes up for the 6 month renewal/revision.
I also want to change it on my polices

Currently my policy says that the price I charge includes meals - stupidly I thought parents would asume this meant only lunch and dinner. However, non sleepers mum assumes it means breakfast too.

But I want to change my contract so i charge breakfast at
50p per child per day
I also want to change the times I serve it (Cureently the weekly rates I charge cover 8am-5pm) (mindees sometimes get dropped of at 8.30 sometimes 07.30)
But them arriving at 08.25, having had no breakfast isn't good, but we need to be out the house by 08.30 for school, as a result the mindees aren't getting a proper breakfast till after 9am - having been up since 6/7

SO I'd like some help with the wording to say that breakfast will only be served between 07.30 and 08.00, and that if your child arrives after this time it will be assumed they have already had breakfast.

Somedays, when the parents have the day off, they don't drop off till , say 09.30 and then say "Oh they'll be starving they've had no breakfast"

I have no idea but it seems very mean of the parents not to feed their child before dropping off, and they seem to want to get their moneys worth by having you feed them as well. Though to be fair you didn't say only lunch and tea but I don't know many parents who would send their child out without giving them something to eat first.

All of this is in my handbook if you want to see? Also, if you have an NCMA contract it will have a section on page 3 where you agreed meals so if breakfast wasn't noted down, then they aren't entitled and these parents don't sound the sort to listen to anything!! I don't know how you put up with them!!! Poor kids :(

Why haven't they fed their kids anything before 9.30am???? That is negligent.

Totally agree!!! I'd probably get some advice about these children if I were you.

breakfast will only be served between 07.30 and 08.00, and that if your child arrives after this time it will be assumed they have already had breakfast

maybe add on - and will not be fed till snack/lunch time.

your wording seems fine to me - write it as you have said on here

poor kids not being fed till late - i really hope this isnt a child abuse case as some other poster pointed on oanother thread of yours :(

I found from the same kinds of situation as you that I have to be very specific with parents about which meals I provide and why I don't provide the others. Once you have done it, get someone who is not involved to read it and tell you what they think it means. I always find that helps.

Sort of a tricky situation, isn't it? Then they could still turn up at 8.25 and say "they haven't had breakfast" and even though it's in your contract that you won't give them breakfast, you'd probably try to give them a little something anyway because you won't want children going hungry because of the fault of the parents. Then you're still out of pocket.

It should make parents more aware and make them feed them before they get there if after a certain time, but from your other posts about them... it just doesn't sound like that's going to happen, tbh :(
