I'm in the exact same situation (DCPS 3:15 pick-up) and pay starting at 3:00 pm.

I want her early not late.

3pm. If she has to park the car to pick up, and then walk to the campus, then her start time isn't really 3:15.

I also agree that you don't want to nickel and dime your nanny if you want to keep her.

Agree. You don't want to nickel and dime the nanny, OP.

I would do at least 3pm. My current bosses pay me half an hour before their kids get out of school, and their house is only a 5-min drive from the school.

If school is let out at 3:15, your nanny is likely there a few minutes before waiting. Unless you want her rolling up to the school at 3:15, trying to find parking, etc. and then potentially not getting to your kids until 3:20-25, start their pay at 3:00. You are already doing it so what's the issue? Are you really feeling cheated paying someone for a whopping MAYBE 10 non-working minutes a day?

This is one of those issues where bringing it up is going to cost you a lot of goodwill. I know that if my hours were docked (for no real reason) months/years into my tenure I would no longer be helping out by showing up early/staying late when asked.
