I disagree-they would not hesitate to leave early if that is what was best for their family. I would refund one week and start the other family provided they paid my required one week deposit and were fully enrolled. I am sorry but one thing I have learned is that families will do what is best regardless of you and now I feel the same. What is best for me is to keep daycare full and my income coming in. The family leaving may have the option of using back up for the week anyway and may only be giving 2 week notice as you require it. As long as you refund them the week they cannot use -that's what I would do.
