For the twins, the last line of that paragraph is perfect imo. Their needs after 5pm aren't your problem technically. I'm sure there is someone else available to pick them up, grandparents, family friends, aunts or uncles. But that's on them to arrange, not you.

I'm unclear as to why you can accommodate the maternity leave kid for full time, but not part time? But if this is indeed the case, for whatever reason, and if the twins enroll, you could say something like, due to the changing dynamics of my group, I will not be able to accommodate any part time spots at this time. The only options available are to either keep your full time position or withdraw your child. I wish I could be more accommodating, but licensing rules will not permit it (if this is why you won't have availability).
