Hi sorry new to this and yes it is about non payment of notice period.
My daughter had been with the childminder for 3 months and almost every week we have had to find alternative childcare as cm was sending her home saying she is sick when she was fine when she got home.
Three weeks ago my daughter had croup so she couldn't go in for a week which was fine we got other childcare but when I contacted the cm at the end of the week to see about the following week I was told to let her know on Sunday night. I can not leave childcare to last minute if I have to find alternative childcare so I then told her due to all the issues we have had that I was putting in my notice and that my daughter would not be back.
I dated the notice from the Monday although I handed it in on the Friday and now she is saying I owe her a weeks money because my notice is from when I handed it in but she got the notice for a whole month she never had to watch my daughter and also was advertising the free space on Facebook before I even handed in the official notice.

Where do I stand as she is threating legal action

Legal action about what? Are you a childminder or parent?

I think you need to give more information, normally this is about non payment?
