I think it depends on the nursery. Mine closes for a week so I don’t pay for those days, but I know that some do charge for that week and bank holidays in general
Just email them back and ask before you pay.
It is quite common for nurseries to charge for bank holidays when they are closed. See if you can check the t&c that you got when you joined. I have had to pay for Christmas bank holidays.
I’ve emailed and asked but just wanted to get an idea of how normal this was! They usually charge for bank holidays which I don’t have a massive issue but to charge for Christmas Day (have been informed they’ve done this for those in on a Monday) and Boxing Day when they’re closed all week I think is a bit off! Just interested in seeing what other nursery’s do - thanks all!
@Sarah it states bank hols but we were charged for Christmas week last year so it appears there’s no consultancy! 🤷🏼♀️
We pay for 51 weeks of the year but the cost is split evenly across 12 months. All holidays are included.
@Jade yeah, I think it can be quite different between each nursery. I paid for bank holidays last year but I think they were open the non bank holiday days, so that is different. We're at a new nursery now and I have no idea what their policy is so we'll see!! I think a lot of nurseries struggle financially so they'll try to recuperate costs where they can.
Our nursery doesn’t charge for the week between Christmas and new year. They are only closed on Christmas and Boxing Day, but if you use the nursery on the other days you’d be charged your usual rate. They are also open all weekend their bank holidays including Easter and Good Friday so my LG still goes on them days as I don’t see the point in not sending her when she sees nursery as one big play date!

No - completely closed which is why I am questioning it 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
