    Ive just taken on a term time little girl, we have agreed that she will pay
    half fees for the holidays for the days that I am working. I take all my hols in the schools holidays so its not too bad for her.

    I have 2 TTO families. I don't charge a retainer for the holidays as it means I can offer the place to others if needed plus I prefer to be a bit quieter during school hols for my own childrens benefit.

    It's entirely up to you, some don't charge as have holiday only mindees to fill the gaps or because they don't want much work; for others a retainer up to half the usual fee is charged.
