Laws about leaving a nursery and still have to pay (and what exactly)?

Hi,
We’re in a tricky situation where we have to pay an extra term for the nursery my child is leaving. But what I have read but cannot find anymore, I guess it’s under the consumer law? Is that we shouldn’t be having paying for food or any stationary costs when my child isn’t there any longer? Bear in mind, it’s a very expensive nursery and they won’t be taking new children in, meaning they won’t replace my child’s place in any way. The manager is also threatening us by using legal help and other things, which makes me feel very uncomfortable as my child still has a week left.

thanks

thats the issue with the contract. It doesn’t say anything what happens/what’s expected of you during the notice period.

You signed a contract when they started. You have to give notice in accordance with that contract. You’ll pay throughout that notice period whether DC is there or not.

It is a purely contractual matter. What are the terms that you agreed to?

Check your contract and or their policy not the law

I think my nursery contract is fairly clear that I need to pay all costs during the notice period.

What does the enrolment paperwork say?

Soontobe60 · 10/12/2022 08:02

My guess is that you have to pay whatever your contract says.

Surely the costs / notice period are covered in your contract with the nursery, not by any particular statute. What does the contract say?
