I do not think that is true, is it?

Sister-out-law has to sack 60 staff tomorrow. She is devestated.

I don't think she does.
She definitely doesn't have to sack them tomorrow before the government expand on what measures are in place. That is a very bad decision.

She could put everyone on furlough while waiting a week. School places are funded termly too so she can quite reasonably count on income until Easter.

Rushing to sack everyone is just another panic.

You need to read the contracts. Some nurseries will expect payment for private places during closures, others won't.

The government seems to be saying government-funded places will still get paid to the nurseries, they haven't clarified on private places. If they they cover them, much easier for the parents but who knows.

Indeed. She is the manager - not the owner - so has no choice. Some situations at the moment make me feel the world is ending. But in 3 months time it will look very different. I keep telling myself that.

Advice 2 makes little sense as you are gambling that the Nursery you are paying a retainer to will still exist after this is over...

That is up to you to work out....

[eek]

This is being discussed across the internet.

Advice one is to read your contract.

Advice two is if you will need childcare after this is over and are still working, come up with an agreement to pay a retainer.

HMT has just announced no charge for commercial rates for child care providers.

Do parents get a refund and not expected to pay anymore ?

In London it’s about £1800 a month, and 3 month notice period ?

There was a guy a week or two ago on telly who ran/owned a nursery - just keeping heads above water.

If forced to close, they would go bust, 15 or so staff would have no jobs and 60 odd families looking for new childcare.

Judging by my fb feed, several of my friends have already lost work and we've barely started...

There is a concern about the loss of the 30 free hours.

I am more worried that the staff have no income and the parents have to find alternate child care or stop working themselves.

A three month mortgage or rental holiday is not going to help massively as not everyone has the troublesome problem of having to open extra bank accounts when they hit £85k

Refund - are they solvent?
Notice - not your problem. No service, no payment. Pity the poor staff and business owners.
