Illness and Holidays
Minded child illness...... Normal fee applies
Minded child holiday..... Normal fee applies
Childminder/childminder's child illness..... No fee
Bank Holidays..... No fee (closed)
School holidays.... No fee (closed)
As I am offering a term-time service, I guarantee not to take any holiday during the school terms.
During the term, I will only close due to unforeseen circumstances e.g. emergency/sickness. If this happens, my back-up childminder may be able to provide childcare for you instead.
To maintain the high level of childcare and knowledge I currently have, and to comply with Ofsted regulations, I do have to complete training at certain points throughout the year. Wherever possible, I try to do this on evenings, weekends or school holidays, so as not to disrupt the children I care for.
As I am offering a term-time service, I expect that many of my clients will be school staff and as such be required to go into school at certain times during the holidays. As such, I am prepared to offer childcare on these occasions at selected times. Please contact me to discuss this in more detail.
