Hi mums
My child goes to a daycare 4 days a week. We are planning to for a long tour in December for the entire month.
The daycare costs are high, so I was thinking do I need to pay the entire month fees even though we won’t be here or is there any other options anyone else has tried.
Thanks

In my experience it’s unusual that a nursery will give any kind of discount for a holiday. However one nursery that I worked in did offer 50% if you were away for 4 weeks or more. But this really does depend on the setting and how busy they are. My advice would be speak to the manager sooner rather than later xx

We are allowed up to 14 days “holiday” per year. So we can book him out at least a month in advance and not have to pay for the sessions,
Definitely speak with your nursery and see if they can do anything for you. It might just be in your contract you have to pay to keep his space as 4 weeks is along time, that’s 16 days of his normal childcare

You'll probably still have to pay full price. Some offer holiday days but its usually 2 weeks for the whole year.

Yes we have to pay full price if we take ours out for any holidays xx

You'd need to pay if it's the same as my nursery.
