Do I have to pay for the bank holidays??

[Nemoandthefishes]

Nobody has ever told me if I have to and DDs only go on a mon morning and fri afternoon so obv with today and good friday means they will have missed a week of nursery. They didnt even tell me they were closing its only I asked as leaving on monday.

DH thinks I shouldnt pay and when they shut at christmas we didnt...am a bit new to all this though!!

I'm sure this will be covered in your contract - can you check.

Our nursery charges for bank holiday closures. I think this is fair enough, actually, as they still have to pay their staff, and I don't get paid any less if the wee has a public holiday.

our nursery charges 1/2 rate for bank holidays but we still pay.

my dc's nursery used to charge for 51 weeks a year (closed at Xmas for a week), This was divided into 12 equal payments.

thing is I was never given a contract
They seem to be very disorganised but fab with the girls

Do you pay the same amount every month? If so, its probably calculated out and divided by 12.

mine are at a busybees, we still have to pay even though i still have to work so have to pay twice sometimes to get someone else to lookafter them.

they dont have a set amount a month it is ad hoc pay when you want type of system. I just know it is £56 a week for the two of them to do 2 sessions a week. I tend to be pay 3wks one time then 1 wk the next time. They dont even seem to keep tabs but will write me out a reciept after I ask them.
