Hi all
First post :)
My son ( three in sept) has been going to a local family run, Ofsted registered nursery for roughly 18 months. It's quite small and only has a maximum of 9/10 children. It's not perfect but we like and trust the family and our son is happy there and has made friends with the other children. It's also convenient for us and the grandparents to do the dropping off and collections.
We pay the nursery when we're on holiday and if out son is ill and not attending. We also pay bank holidays and for a few extra days at Christmas ( we're normally off work at Christmas anyway so it's not a big deal)
Last summer the nursery told us they would be closed for a week to go on holiday ( no cover provided) and would like us to pay as usual. We were a little green about how a nursery works at the time and to cut a long story short (shorter) we paid for the week they were away.
This month, they're going away for 3 weeks, providing no cover ( at great inconvenience to us) and still want paying! Surely this can't be right as they are not providing a service?
I'm worried if we don't pay up we'll have to take our son out of the nursery. It was hard enough to find this one and he seems so happy there.
Myself and my husband are having a meeting with the nursery soon and would like some advice/ ammo to hopefully make the nursery see sense.
PS as far as I'm aware, the other parents paid for their holiday last summer also. We don't see the other parents when dropping off to ask them about this.
Thanks in advance
