I have been childminding for 2.5 years and so far have had term time only contracts by looking after teachers' kids.
I started minding a friend's baby a few months ago on a very casual 'as and when' basis as she is self employed, and we are going to firm up arrangements in September when I have two new kiddies starting.
One of them will be a term time only contract so I will do my usual thing, but the other one is all year round so what do I do about holidays? Ideally I would want them to take hols in school holiday time so I get more time with my son, so can I tempt them by saying full fee if they have holiday in term time and half fee if they take holiday in school holiday time? Or just say 4 weeks at half fee, and full fee if it's any longer?
Obviously will charge full fee on bank holidays and double if they attend.
Please help as I need to get contracts done in a few weeks' time!
Thank you
