i only provide dinner if requested, then they have it at 5pm along with my dd.

if i have children being collected at 5pm or before, they have a snack after school(can be cold-yogurt, fruit etc or hot, but only something like toast,crumpets etc, something quick and easy)

i charge extra if parents (children) want dinner or breakfast if theyre not full time.

If children are here when we eat our tea, then they join us - I canno have a child sat there while we eat and explain this to parents, most parents are happy with this as it means when they get in there is less rushing.

I do a small snack as soon as we get in from school, then a hot tea at 5pm.

Oh and I charge £1 for meals as my hourly rate is low.

I serve dinner at 5pm and any mindees that are here until at least 5.30pm are offered it (obviously pre-arranged with parents etc).

For the others they just have a snack after-school time.

but what would you do if you didnt have your own meals until about 6.30pm. would you cook twice.
