Do You Close Over Christmas


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Our nursery contract says that parents have to pay for 52 weeks of the year. We usually close over Christmas and have never had a problem with parents paying for the 52 weeks. However, we have two parents this year who are refusing to pay. What happens elsewhere. I thought this was the norm for nurseries and was following what everyone else did. We are closed from 29, 30, 31st

 

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for your replies. The thing is my fees are pretty cheap anyway and I provide lots of trips, a really good Christmas party with an entertainer, santa with presents and the children have a really full on Christmas dinner plus we like to provide the children will presents they make for Mum and Dad (which all involves loads of extra expense). I can see there point in a way, but as you say they signed the contract and I am sure it says we close at Xmas.

We're part of a chain and powers that be way above my level decided along time ago that we woldn't charge for Bank Holidays - it's not something I agree with though I have to say, we do lose alot of money, maybe it will change in the future, nice for the parents, not so nice for the business!!

hi, we close on christmas eve at 4.30(normally 6pm and reopen on fri 2nd---parents pay half fees for week inbetween xmas and new year, this is the norm for the area (north east) maybe this could be be negotioated with owner(if thats not you!!!!)and parent contract revised.

if parents refuse to pay and they have signed contract you could enforce non payment of fees policy and refuse entry in new year

 

 

happy xmas
