I have several children who don't come in the school holidays, who I charge a (small) retainer but if I take time off during the shool holidays I don't charge the retainer.

Am just about to renew contracts and thought I'd see what the rest of you do - if i'm already charging a much reduced rate in the hols should I charge it all the time even if I'm on holiday?

Parents who come throughout the year have to pay in full for their holidays and also two weeks paid holiday for me so am just trying to balance things up a bit iyswim
