I’ve never had any, but I guess its only been a very rare occasion that I have cancelled on the day, people are generally understanding in that instance I’ve found xx

Chris, I never have. Although I do sometimes give grace to people – I find you get better retention in the long run that way. Also, Ruth’s welcome letter idea is really smart. I totally should have done that.

Yes I do on the odd occasion for long standing students maybe one chance but make it clear its a one off to keep them on board – I have upset a parent or two in the past but.. The students I want to keep are the ones who are happy with the policy from the start.. If they aren’t there will be more problems further down the line

48 hour notice works fantastically because people understand that it’s my full time job. Also if I wake up ill and cancel last minute, I lose the money too. It’s a fair system.

Very good point Ruth, if they make a fuss early on, you know they’re not going to be reliable in the future
