just so you know hon (at least in England) there are 39 weeks of the school year not 34 - make sure you don't get short changed.
I would charge the same monthly fee and just refund any holiday you take as necessary.
As you are spreading the cost of 11 months care over 12 months you need to make it clear to parents that they are underpaying for care each month to do this.
I have a form which sets out the monthly payment for care, sets out what they WILL be paying, how much the underpayment is.
Then it has a statement saying 'we (the parents) are aware that we are underpaying for care each month adn should we leave before the end of the academic year - 31st August - that such underpayment for care received will be calculated and added to the final months fees'.
Then get them to sign to agree to this hon.
if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got
