term time only contracts!

[Cwmbranchildminder]

Had an enquiry for 22hrs per wk but term time only?
What do you all do if u get an enquiry for term time only?
I dont want to not earn during this time?

I have a term time only mindee but I do have someone who needs school holidays only too so it works out well. The only other thing you can do is spread the 37 weeks or whatever it is over 52 and get them to pay that way so you are still paid over holidays if that makes sense!!!!

yes that makes sense.
It doesnt work out so well for me as no one needs term time only around here as all school have summer clubs.
I have heard people charging a retainer through the hols but not too sure

I do term-time only contracts, which I offer to all families of schoolchildren I mind. If they want any hours/days in school holidays, they pay for whatever they want (assuming that I have the space - and it's first come, first served).

I also mind for children (with a mix of ages) of schoolteachers, and also offer term-time only contracts.

There have been discussions here before about this, and I think that I am in the minority!

For term-time only this is what I do:
For under fives i charge half fees during school holidays - they can book days during holidays on payment of the other half of the fee for the days required.

For school children I charge session rates during term-time which works out at 40p more an hour and they don't pay during school holidays. They can book days in school holidays but there is no guarantee of my availability.
