Booked Hours
Your childcare services are booked before you enter resort due to high demand you cannot change your hours in resort (unless you have booked on to ‘flexi-hours’). Your nanny will work the agreed hours made at the time of booking. If you choose not to use your nanny on one of your booked days or to end hours early or start late on your booked hours the hours will not be made up. You will not be reimbursed for the hours not used.
Additional hours will be invoiced and paid before the end of the childcare services.
Bookings outside of resort
If your booking is not in Tignes Lavachet, Le Lac, or Tignes Val Claret your booking is classed as outside of resort.
Hours available in Val D’isiere and Tignes Les Brevierres may be less flexible due to nannies travelling via ski lift or local busses. We will endeavour to work every hour of the booking however if weather does not permit this then you will be offered hours to make up the time. In cases where this is not an option you will be refunded 50% of the hours not worked.
Sickness and Medication
If your child is unwell during your holiday there is a local doctor’s surgery and a number of pharmacy’s available. We can provide you with directions and opening hours upon request. In the unlikely event that you child has an infectious illness, it may be that your Nanny can not continue to care for them; in this event, there is no refund of fees. If you child is sick with a suspected contagious illness we will ask you to wait until it has been 24 hours before a nanny caring for your child again OR we will ask you to take them to the medical centre to confirm it is not contagious.
Prior to commencement of your booking you will be asked to sign an agreement authorising our Nannies to act on your behalf in circumstances when your child may need medical advice/treatment in an emergency. We will only give medication prescribed by a doctor to your child following your prior written permission.
Staff Sickness
In the unlikely event that a member of staff is ill ABSki will replace your nanny however on peak weeks this may not be an option in this event you will be fully refunded the hours you did not receive.
Allergies
It is your responsibility to notify ABSki Childcare and your nanny of any allergies that you child has and the related medicines for this.
Extra Excursions/Activities
If you wish for your child to engage in activities around resort that require extra payment, e.g trampolines, swimming and huskey rides your nanny will require a float to cover costs for both child and Nanny. This can be pre-arranged and paid to the Nanny in euros in resort. Prices and activity details can be provided upon request. Please note many of the activities in resort are free for under 5s.
