I don't know what your sick policy covers though so that is why I asked. Your situation makes me aware that I should maybe add in a blurb about broken bones etc.
I understand what you are saying. I could add to my sickness policy year after year with a never ending list of reasons and I find it much easier for myself and very clear for all parents to understand by simply stating that if for any reason your child does not attend daycare and I am open for business then full fees are due. It makes it much easier to understand and prevents parents from finding any loopholes not to pay. If I take time off for any reason, no payment. If you take time off for any reason, full payment. Sometimes simplicity makes things easier.
