We have just brought a family NT membership and I have a question! I did email but had no reply and have yet to remember to call to ask
Our 7 year old daughter is covered by our membership. In the holidays she goes to a childminder who has 2 daughters under 4. Childminder and husband have a couples membership as their children are too young to pay entry.
If I gave the childminder our card could she use it for my daughter's entry if the went out for the day to a NT site? It seems a waste to have to pay for her when she is included in our family membership. As they have their own couples membership there would be no worries about them getting a freebie, but I wouldn't want to put them in an awkward position either!
Many thanks
