Anyone else taking Easter bank holidays?

[crace]

What days (if any) are you taking?

i'm off good friday and easter monday
then i will be working the tues/weds/thurs/fri
then i'm on hols for a week with my boys

i only take bank holidays off

And are most parents off then? I have it in my policies that I am off on bank holidays, but feel bad for asking for that time off. I know most parents have the day off, don't they?

most do but its booked as hols in my jan letter so parents normally sort it if they are not off

Those are bank holidays, so I think you are well within your rights to tske them off.

Anyone with a staff / salary position probably has them off. People who work shifts or do things like nursing, police, etc. probably don't have them off.

dont feel guity
if it is your policys and the parents have read and understood then there shouldnt be a problem, they asked you to be their childminder once they knew all your fees/hols/days off
enjoy your long weekend

Take all Bank hols, at half pay.

I usually take Good Friday, Easter Monday & another 4 days. This time I'm working up to Good Friday then just working 1 day the following week.

I am taking next Thursday, Good friday, Easter Monday and the Tuesday off. I'm lucky though that all but one set of my parents are military so at least one parent will be off, so i don't need to feel guilty. In fact i only have one mindee for the whole of the second week of the holidays

I'm the same as Saltire. I'm off to the beach Thursday, back to work on Weds!! Yipee!!!!

im off all next week!..well with full timer, got two part timers two days, but rest of week off, dont know about b.hol mon yet tho?

if i dont work its normal fee, if i do work its double time.

i charge half rate if i dont have kids and £5p/h if i do have them (never have yet though)normal rate is £3p/h

I am going to charge full rates I think, seems to be the norm doesn't it?

I am very lucky I think. 2 weeks off from this Friday (school hols)! All teachers children .

Me too Blodwen, I am off to China on saturday on an Early Years Educational study tour. Our school don't go back until the 23rd.

im off every bank holiday on full pay but if parents need me im prepared to work for £5 per hour (am usually 2.50 per hour!)

I don't work Bank hols thats in my contract!! I'm also taking 9-13 off as hols for myself yippeeee

Not going anywhere but really looking forward to not having to be up and dressed by 7am

i think im off this fri(birthday), sat, sun, mon, tues, wed...fri, sat, sun, mon..i think i have both part timer mindee together on thurseday meaning 10 days off! an paid too as mindee one has put a week hol in
