Hi,was just wondering if anyone could give me a little advice or point me in the right direction. Recently my childminder of 3 years gave me notice and stopped caring for my son one week before the end of school meaning I had to pay extra for additional childcare. As I work term time only I have always paid her over a full 52 weeks.....when she initially gave me her notice she said all I had to pay was the next four weeks as per my contract. On the last day my son was in her care however she presented me with a hand written document from her accountant saying I had underpaid her by £1,026 as the contract runs from September 14 to September 15. She has offered the opportunity for me to pay it off in small increments which it will need to be as I have new monthly nursery fees.....my question is can she do this? My contract just mentions the 4 week notice period and has no mention whatsoever about pro rata issues. Have tried looking everywhere and don't want to not pay if I genuinely owe her but neither do I want to he paying money I don't owe. Has anyone please got any advice?
