Holidays, closures and sick days: write clear fee terms for parents (England)

The problem

Fees for holidays, bank holidays and sick days are easy to disagree about when they haven't been spelled out. Clear wording that explains what parents pay when you or the child is away, agreed before the first day, avoids the awkward conversation after.

What AI does

AI turns your own rules on holidays, closures and sick days into plain wording for your parent contract and a short reminder note for parents. The rules and figures are yours, and you check the wording matches them (England).

The steps, in short

  1. Decide your rules on holidays, closures and sickness, with your own figures.
  2. Have AI draft a contract section and a short reminder note.
  3. Check the wording matches your rules exactly and reads clearly.
  4. Use it for new families, and give existing families the notice your contract requires.
