I made a lil fou par and missed the bit about a retainer for the school holidays, now I thought maybe write a letter and get them to sign in stating the agree . I’m not too sure how to put it so what do you think of this.

Dear *****

With reference to our meeting and signing of the contract. I have neglected to put in the contract that there is a retainer of 50% of the 4 weekly fee to keep your child’s place in my setting.

(Then on a separate piece of paper......)

I ________________ agree to pay the retainer of 50% of the full fee to secure my childs place at Cherry Orchard Childminding Service.

Yes I would then there can be no argument about the amount

When you renew the contract you can write it into that

I'd definately state what it is, I'd also state why you need one ie if they decide not to use you but you have turned others down for the place etc :)

Dear ******

With reference to our meeting the other day, to sign the contract .I have neglected to put in the contract that there is a retainer of 50% of the weekly fee for the duration of the holiday (full fee for personal holidays) to keep your child’s place in my setting during the school holidays.

I also have a Childs record form for you to fill in, this is basically so I know of, emergency contacts, allergies etc. This will need to be filled in before ***** placement starts.

Yours truly,

Emma Dines

and this in the signing bit.

I ________________ agree to pay the retainer of 50% of the full weekly fee per week of the school holiday to secure my childs place at Cherry Orchard Childminding Service.
