    I usually have upto 4 weeks holiday and am closed for 1 or 2 weeks at Christmas!! I usuually have 1 week at easter, 2 (sometimes only 1) in the summer and I used to have October half term off when my boys were at school - simply because if the weather was bad I didn't end up with upto 10 children (including my own 4) to occupy but now they are out at work I don't always have that week now!!
