Background
This is wrong to charge people for childcare where the nursery is not open. Whilst relatively small it should not be normal practice for this to be happening. Childcare can cost around £80 a day with government funding and if you have a child who is in on bank holidays that’s an extra £800+ per year that is charged for a service that is not provided.
