Anyone childmind/nanny for a teacher? Or are you a teacher who uses childcare?

I'm a teacher and will need childcare in January (if everything goes to plan). Is it possible to get childcare for term-time only or will I have to pay in the school holidays even though I won't need it. I know it's a long way away but I am worrying about it (amongst a hundred other things...)
Thanks!

I charge normal fees during term time and half fees in the school holidays, then if the parent needs a few days in the school holidays to do some things then as long as I have a few days notice they can use the space and just pay the extra for the time used.

I do this but in France.

We have worked out how many weeks a year the DC will go to the cm and then divide it by 12 to give a fixed monthly salary.

But not everyone would be happy with that I think.
