I don't do a deposit either, but I think parents would struggle with the idea of adding one while already in care. I would consider adding it to just new families, but that is just me. When it's time to end care, I don't want families sticking around just to get their 2 weeks worth of money if it hasn't been a good fit. Good families will tend to let you know further than 2 weeks ahead if they plan to leave.
