Our daycare charges and all that ive come across have, stating they have to pay their staff etc.....but I too would prefer to pay 50% on those days.

You find that most daycares are very quiet on a Mon and Fri as parents dont want to have to pay for a service they arent getting since most pub hols are a mon or fri.]]> Sat, 11 Jun 2011 23:09:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39506&PID=1344846&title=daycare-public-holidays#1344846 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39506&PID=1344825&title=daycare-public-holidays#1344825 Author: nathansmummy

We've never had to but a friends kids were at one that did and her DH refused to pay them since it wasn't his problem they were closed.

depends on the centre, it's always in the contract/fine print - some centers will also offer you 'leave' days for your child - so if you go on holiday there are a certain number of days that you don't have to pay for - however it's really up to the centre - so a good thing to know about in advance]]> Sat, 11 Jun 2011 16:10:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39506&PID=1344565&title=daycare-public-holidays#1344565 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39506&PID=1344516&title=daycare-public-holidays#1344516 Author: Bexee

Where I work we charge for public holidays, but if the child is part time we try to offer them a make up day which they are not charged for.

at the end of the day its a business and staff need to be paid, cool to see some dont charge though.

You should get some annual leave (usually charged at 50%) so you can use that on stat days, although keep in mind you will need to apply in advance]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:59:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39506&PID=1344081&title=daycare-public-holidays#1344081 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39506&PID=1343840&title=daycare-public-holidays#1343840 Author: T_Rex

Our Kindy charges, (as does the Daycare we were in before this. However where we are now, the girls get X number of 'annual leave' days (9 I think) which can be used on the stat days and when they close over Xmas.]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2011 13:31:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39506&PID=1343831&title=daycare-public-holidays#1343831 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39506&PID=1343793&title=daycare-public-holidays#1343793 Author: monkey33

Ours does too - I guess if they have to pay their staff to be off aswell, it makes a little sense.

Is it usual for daycares to charge for public holidays when they aren't open?
I don't understand how they can charge for a service they aren't providing so wondered if was common practice. Ds starts in couple of weeks so just trying to get it sorted before then.
TIA
