Hi, what is the standard arrangements for term time contracts? Do you charge during School holidays, if so what? PLEASE HELP.

do you want to work the holidays? if not, don't charge and use it as a unique selling point. If not, most minders charge 50% retainer fee :thumbsup:

I only got i term time contract which is only day so i just charged her a higher rate but don't charge in the holidays. If you do charge for the holiday then you have to keep the space free.

I have one on a term time only and don't charge, I think it depends on you, I would rather have less in hols and spend more quality time with my children, but when my children are older I may decide to charge.

I charge my under 5's as it's a full day space but not my afterschoolies as they only come 2 nights a week anyway.

I don't charge for holidays as there is a real demand for holiday care for pre-shoolers - ie old enough to go to pre-school but no care in holidays. I get more revenue from this as they sometimes come with siblings.When I can take 3 under 5's I may want to have some time off in the holidays but at the moment this is what boosts my income so can't afford to. I only have 1 child who is term time only and the rest are year round.

i dont charge a retainer for the hols....i have enough with the kids i have got during the hols!!!

at the moment my TTO children are at school so are not in my eyfs numbers.

i charge for all schoolies £4 an hour and all EYFS £3.50 an hour,

But if an EYFS TTO child came along i would charge £4.00 an hour.
