Nursery/creche - what happens on bank hols?

[mosschops30]

Ds2 has just started creche, his days are mon, weds and fri.

I imagine theyre nit open on bank hols.

So what happens? Do i get that money back?

Seems unfair as if he was tues, weds, fri then i would be paying for all the days and using them

You will most likely have to pay for bank holidays, check your contract.
The staff will still be paid for bank holidays, as in most professions, so nurseries need fee income to cover that.

Depends on the nursery/creche.
I worked in one where they closed for the holiday but still charged for it.
Another one where they were closed but didn't charge for it.
Where I work now, the nursery is open but charges an extra £10 on top of the normal fee if you want to use it.

Ours reduce the annual fee by a week for Christmas shut down and another week for bank holidays. So you pay for 50 weeks regardless of days.
I actually "gain" as my days are tues, wed & thurs but, it's swings & roundabouts I guess, some you win, some you lose. They take your annual cost, divide by 12 and you have a lovely, "same every month" figure

DS's previous nursery charged (month in advance) for the actual number of days for the coming month. The didn't charge for bank holiday or the Christmas closure. Also, if I gave 3 months notice, I got his holiday weeks at half price!
But this meant I had to have DS off with me to take advantage of the lower price... Now I can have the "odd" day off without him

We don't charge for them its knocked of throughout the year as is inset days so you pay the same every week but your not charged for them,
