i was thinking about charging half fee for xmas week so having the 25th - 29th and then full fee for new yrs day as its bank holiday.
cant believe most of you dont get paid for hols. we do a very hard job and we deserve to get what everyone else gets, we deserve a paid break too (or at least half pay in my case)

I finish on the22nd and back on the 3rd Jan. I don't get paid, like frannyfroo i tried it once and the parents left, i pointed out that they all took paid holidays, so why shouldn't i, but they wouldn't have it. AFAIK none of the CM;s round here charge for their hols

I am only taking off xmas day, boxing day and new years day. Dh works over xmas so I do too (I take the october half term off and 2 weeks in the summer). Some of my parents have holidays over xmas so I don't usually have mindees everyday so it doesn't usually work out too bad.
I am also like franyfroo, CM in my area do not usually charge for their holidays, so if you tell parents you charge you don't get the work.
