Nursery fee

[Redbean730]

My daughter is going to the nursery 3 days a week and we are going away for 4 weeks. I just spoke to the manager at the nursery and the policy is that we still need to pay for full fee while we are away. Is that normal?

[CityDweller]

Yes

[Laquila]

Frustratingly, yes

[M4blues]

Absolutely normal, yes. If she happens to be off with say, chickenpox for 2wks you will need to pay them too. Illness and family holidays the nursery is still open so fees still payable.

[PennyHasNoSurname]

Yes. Still normal. They have ratios and staffing to sort and they cant exactly say to the staff "no work for you for four weeks as we are a child down"

[insancerre]

Yes normal. It will gave been in your contract
I manage a nursery and I can't not charge you when your child isn't there.
You've agreed to the place, the nursery have employed the staff to look after her

[softhedgehog]

Yes of course. Do you expect them not to pay the staff while you are away - or maybe the rent or insurance?

[RandomMess]

Yes if you want them to keep a space for her!

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Totally normal. With enough notice you could withdraw her for the four weeks but you may struggle to get a place when you come back.
