Just wanting a general consensus from other minders about wot they charge wen their minees go on holiday?????:)

Full fee!:)

I charge half fee, but they must give me atleast 4 weeks notice of this, or full fee :o

Full Fee!!! the service is available but they are not using it!!!

Saying that, i dont charge if i am on hols x

I don't charge if I don't work... :D

Im the same as Lou. So if they take holiday when i take mine then they dont pay. :)

I charge full fee if they take their child on holiday but don't charge if I have time off.

I'm the same, I charge full fee for their holidays but none for mine.

i also charge full fee for any holidays taken by the parent but do not charge if i have any .i think if my services are avalible & they dont need me full fee still applies , however when im not avalible then i dont charge . i need to make a certain bit of income im afraid or i would have to go back & work at the nursey :eek: x

I allow 2 weeks hols at half fees. i do not charge for my hols

Ditto I charge full fees for their hols and bank hols as they get paid and I don't charge anything for my hols as they either have to take leave get family on board or pay someone else so its only fair.

i charge 1/2 fee for their holidays and no charge for mine

I charge full fee, but I do 10 days free holiday.

Full fee for their holidays and nothing for mine

i charge full fee's if i go on holiday (cos i obviously need spending money) but when the parent goes on holiday they get it free (so they can have their holiday spending money).

Full Fee!!! the service is available but they are not using it!!!

Same as Lou - but I also say I must have at least two weeks paid holiday every year - this stops them taking all their holidays when I have mine.

I'm the same:)

I don't charge when Im off as my services are not available, but charge half fee for 4 weeks , but any more than that is full fee. This was done as some of my Parents can work their leave around their days off they can end up with 6-8 weeks a year off , and if they both work there is could be even more :panic:

I charge full fee when parents take their holidays, and no fee for when I take holidays. I also charge half fee for Bank Holidays.

HTH

I don't charge at all if I don't work, I'm only minding part time at the moment and not set days etc each week so would be awkward to charge really :)

2 weeks at half fee, nothing for my hols though.
