    Given the likelyhood of contagious infection of any sort, I suspect that no insurance company would be prepared to cover the risk. It is probably in the same sphere as asking for flood cover when your property is located on a flood plain. I can see both sides; if the nursery can't pay its rent/expenses, it will lose the premises and the facility is lost to the community. Equally, expecting parents to pay full whack when they are facing income cuts/additional costs isn't reasonable. There is no simple answer; a compromise of some sort would seem to be the way forward; acceptance that there will be financial pain for all involved.
  • Hi

    can anyone give me any advice on what to do with regards to reporting changes in childcare costs to tax credits during temporary closures of nurseries due to the corona virus. My nursery has shut and isn’t requesting payment but I don’t know what to advise tax credits or when as we don’t know how long this situation will last.  

    Your help would be appreciated as don’t want to be overpaid

    thanks
