    We dont get any fee reduction for holidays no matter how much notice is given.
    We also pay full fees for gazetted public holidays even though the centre is not open - if its your normal day you pay.

    Our Daycare is the same as Pandora's no fee reduction for holidays, and you have to pay for public holidays even though the centre is not open.

    Ours is the same as Pandora's plus if we add a day as a one-off extra we pay the normal rate PLUS another 10% ($80/day up to $88/day) - even though the reason they can fit in is that someone else is on holidays (for which they receive a fee already).

    So if they fill a spot vacated due to the regular attendee taking holidays, they make $168 instead of $80.

    We're the same as the others. The director at Nina's daycare said that it is at their discretion if they choose to give the reduction while the child is on holidays. Nina only goes 2 days a week so it's never really been a concern for us.

    Same in both Family Day Care schemes I've used in 2 different states - if you use regular contract hours, you pay regardless of whether you are there or not. There is a limited number of absences you can take that CCB will be reimbursed for, too.
