Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Lingering Parent Problem!

I am having trouble with one parent who lingers at pickup! We close at 6pm and she comes at 5:58 and WON'T leave! Her daughter (daycare child) starts going into my kitchen now and asking for a snack and she REFUSES to leave until she gets one. Now everyday it has become a habit where she won't leave without a cup of goldfish, string cheese, yogurt, or piece of fruit. It is frustrating because they literally live 9 houses down the road so it's not like the child will starve on the way home and it is only a couple hours after her afternoon snack! She is always the last one here and usually its 6:15-6:30 before they leave. I have made hints to the mother, had the child ready to go, even waiting outside in yard somedays and they still won't leave without coming back inside for a snack!! I think its rude of the mother but she doesn't seem to care at all- how can I nip this in the butt?! Thanks in advance for your advice!
