    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    None!!! If I'm not available I don't see how I can charge At least one of my parents uses another childminder when I'm off so would end up paying twice!!

    4 weeks at half pay, 1 unpaid week over Christmas. Holidays are set at the begining of the year and parents arrange their holidays around ours or pay full and take them at other times

    Every Childminder has different way's of working so even though most Childminders do not charge for their holiday's your friend's Childminder is not doing anything wrong-her business her rules.
