I charge for BH and dont work them, parents have never questioned this ever.

I don't work BH's, so I don't charge.

Same here, although my daughters nursery charges but they dont open (not fair!)

Full fee here too but I dont work them.

Nobody has ever questioned it but it is clearly written out in the contract.

I say I will work them but for double fee but have never had to so far.

i don't charge for bh at moment, but feel any new parents enquring will be told i am willing to work so will charge

If i choose to take the bh off then i dont charge as i do not charge if i am unavailiable to work.

If i say im working but parents do not send child - normal rate is charged.
If i do work the bh then its double time.

Thats the rules - theres no other options!

I don't want to work, so don't charge. Some of my parents are prison workers, so a bank holiday is just a normal working day to them, so when I used to work bh I only usually ended up with odd child whose parents had to work that day as it was their shift pattern and I only ever charged normal rate

. It was usually only ever the one child, so decided to give up bh's and not to charge

I charge for 52 weeks a year, inclusive of bank and public holidays. If xmas day falls on a contracted day, I charge basic, however should the parent bring their child (

) I charge an enhanced rate.

I've been availible for work every dy since sept 2008

!! I'm taking my first holiday since i started in May (

)

I don't charge when I'm not available.
