Do you still have to pay if the nursery closed their doors due to the storm on Friday?

Aw above, if the nursery choose to shut their doors and not open at all, do we get refunded for that day? Anyone any idea? Tia

Ours was, and we didn’t.

They’re always very clear that we’re paying for the place at nursery, not the individual days.

May or may not be fair, but it’s what we signed up to

Each nursery will have their own take on it tbh so best asking them.

If your workplace closed for the day due to adverse weather conditions, would you expect to be paid?

Who/what will pay the staff if you dont?

Check your contract. It will say what you are expected to pay for and what you are not.

They may not have chosen to close many councils sent out instructions to close. Would you have risked taking your child out in winds that high?

If my workplace closed with no notice I would expect them to pay me because they chose to close and I had no say in it.

If I chose not to go in due to the storm I would not expect to be paid.

If someone is unable to provide a service I have paid for I would expect a refund. My children used to go to a private school and they gave a credit/refund if they had to close for a day.

It will depend on your contract. Our nursery have a few in the area and they closed all but one to accommodate the few children that were still attending. Our contract says in this instance if your normal setting is shut and you don't take your child to the open one we get 60% back for that day. They still have costs and overheads/wages to cover for that day
