Childcare question

shiningfaery

I have received a list of holidays from childminder and I want to know about challenging her dates, not on her choices of personal dates she has elected 5 weeks to take over course of year it's the bank holidays she is trying to either take or charge me double time for i am disagreeing with.

Hoping someone on here may be able to offer an unbiased opinion.

She has listed bank holidays not even acknowledged by the gov dot com website as being bank holidays. And our schools are not off on these days either.

If she is listing dates as 'bank holidays' when they are not, I'd suggest a polite response to her asking whether she has muddled her calendars and picked the wrong year

You could possibly even work out which year she is mis-using by looking at the Easter dates (according to her) and comparing with Easter in the last few years, 2017, and next few years.

It could be a genuine mistake.

Her easter dates are correct, it's additional days she has added.

Shouldn't you be looking at gov.uk website?

What are these dates you say don't exist?

November the 30th - a Bank Holiday Thursday no less.

In England, 14th and 17th April, 1st May are correct. The others are not bank holidays, though she's omitted 29th May and 28th August which are.

Has she got the dates from this list: https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/docs/default-source/rules-and-practice/practice-notes/court-of-session/directions/term-time-and-holidays-for-2015-2018.pdf?sfvrsn=11

Are you in England or Scotland?

It's a bank holiday in Scotland (St Andrew's Day)

OP's location is given as Scotland, I've just realised.

Scotland has a habit of having "local" days in addition to the general days. The solicitors' practice where I worked for a short time in Oban had no end of local Mondays closed.

Sorry should have said I am in Scotland

30th is still Andrews day, not observed as a holiday here
18th September is the September weekend it's kinda observed in think kids still get it off
I don't agree with 30th or the 10th april
