What kind of parents want term time only?

[smurfette]

Gonna lose two of my part timers soon due to not being able to accommodate new siblings and thinking of going down the after school route after some interesting enquiries lately. My own kids are school age and I would love to have at least less kids in the holidays to do more with them, and obviously with car space could take more after school if i wasn't needed in hols so I could get out and about. I know some of you here are tto, and always thought it was only teachers that wanted this ... If you do tto how do parents arrange holidays? And does it stop people using you if you won't do holidays? Just trying to make it straight in my head as I explore the options! Thanks

Teachers, school admin staff, pre-school staff, self-employed (but they may need some care in hols).

More and more employers are bringing in tto working for parents now, including the Health service.

I work TTO and I've got a teacher and a school nurse using me in September.

I've got two young boys of my own so wanted the time with just them in the holidays. Don't know why but all of my friends that I've met since having my children are teachers!

I have one whose original minder ( a friend of mine) moved a little further away and doesnt do local school anymore so I have him term time and she has him holidays, works really well.

I have college students, 85% funded by the college, 15% by Genesis. So guaranteed payment. I charge slightly more for these though, because college holidays are so long

Thanks for reply ripeberry.. She is a secondary teacher who will be off from end may until September so after doing sums i don't think I will be able to do just tto?
