Hi.

I'm not sure theres much you can do i afraid.

Just make sure they know that they still have to pay up until 8th July regardless of wheter the child attends or not.

What does it say in your contract, mine says 4 weeks notice required or 4 weeks fees, in my case i would write a letter saying thank you for your notice and as stated in contract 4 weeks notice is required or 4 weeks fees if child not coming any more, enclose an invoicecwith a date to be paid by .

Write a letter don't text.

I agree. send a letter acknowledging that they don't wish to send their child anymore but reminding them that payment is due in full for the remainder of the notice period.

Did you keep the numbers of any of the other parents. Phone them back hon. Also get yourself on netmums and childcare.co.uk and message any parents who are looking.

Good luck :)

then you would need to speak to your insurance company hon, either morton michel or NCMA with regards to chasing the unpaid fees.
