Thanks.

If it's term time only then I ask for 2 weeks full money at the end of the school year BUT do not charge anything during the holidays.
If a parent wants me during the holidays then I charge 1/2 fee whilst they are not there and full daily rate when they are (if that make sense)
I don't charge for a TTO B/A School either, means I can offer that space to a holiday only child
I dont as I quite like having different children in the holidays. a bit of variety :-)
Tbh I never used to charge for holidays either. Just term-time rates (so weekly). It meant I was down financially across the year but it worked for me. Also, I am too much of a softie when it comes to charging
Thanks for all your help xx
I think you have to do what suits you,, I dont charge school holidays mainly because I like less children in the holidays so my children have less children around them , mine are now growing up and when the no longer think its cool to hang with mum then I may start charging as then i would be happy to have more in the holidays having said that at the moment work is so thin on the ground I dont think I would get the work if I charged through the hols
hope all that makes sense
so basicly no i dont charge a retainer as I prefer to have less children at the moment.
All the CM's I know charge a retainer in the holidays (half rate seems the usual) but I've decided i'm not going to charge my term time only parents.
No 2 CM's have the same fee policy-whatever you decide though stick to it.
I wouldn't charge if they wanted a term time only contract, but would charge a retainer if I was going to be needed in the holidays!
I don't charge my TTO during holidays, I have the after schoolies full days during the holidays so they take up the spaces, wouldn't feel right charging for a space that isn't there.
thanks again for everyone's help. I've decided not to charge anything during the holidays xx
