    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

    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
