Just looking for some advice ,my dd attends an afterschool service ,we recieved a message last week looking for full payment until Easter holidays ,its a private registered setting with no funding but I have read that no parents are to pay for childcare or would this only include funded settings ? There would have been no food costs,only standard electricity costs and I know there is no rent been charged during covid19,how do I broach this without upsetting anyone ?I thought half fees would have been fair any advice or info would be great
