I've just been given the contract for DD's nursery and it says that we're allowed 4 weeks holiday which will be charged at 50% usual fees if we give them at least a month's notice.
When I've used a nursery before we were allocated a certain number of days per year which could be classified as "holiday" so as long as we gave them enough warning, we wouldn't pay for them at all.
So what's normal? I would have thought that if you give them a month's notice it would be enough for them to sort out staffing rotas so they don't lose out financially. Charging 50% of fees seems a bit unfair, but I just don't know whether that's the norm or not .
This nursery has just opened up and we're one of the first to use it, so is it worth me querying their policy?

Is it normal for a nursery to charge for holidays even with advance warning?
