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).
