Pre and After school child care           11/05/2011 10:02 - How Much Should I Charge or Pay (Locality: Carlow) ----------------------------------- Hi, My 5 year old is starting school in September. I will be dropping her off at 8 and collecting her at 5.30 4 days per week. From the middle of September she will get the bus to school outside the minders house and back around 3.15. At the moment I pay for every week of the year so that when holidays come around I don´t have to ask how much extra to pay. Should I still expect to pay the same amount or should it be a bit less seeing as she will only be in the minders house approx 3.5 hours per day
