Total School-Holiday Childcare Gaps Day by Day

Holiday clubs publish opening hours; your work pattern publishes required hours. The stressful number is the gap between them, day by day — and surplus hours on one day do not cover shortfalls on another.

1 · Day code | required hours | club open hours

FIRST-LOAD

HYPOTHESIS / PROTOTYPE — checkout unavailable. Calculation is local. A draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available; Reset to sample clears it. Optional Pro history stores only five summaries and has its own deletion control. State links encode your inputs and can remain in browser history, clipboard or recipients’ records; share only non-sensitive rows. Optional external AI formatting leaves this device. The required site analytics beacon reports page activity; shared URLs contain encoded inputs. Do not treat an encoded URL as private. The calculator has no input-collection endpoint.

Data note: The childcare-gap docket processes Day code | required hours | club open hours locally. Starter/sample selection and Run compute in this tab; no input is sent by the calculator. A local draft may be saved; explicit state-link sharing or optional external AI formatting can disclose inputs. Use non-sensitive labels.

Perspective: Before: holiday childcare felt like one undifferentiated scramble. After: each day carries its own required, offered and uncovered hours.

Scheduling arithmetic only, not childcare quality, safeguarding or entitlement advice. Confirm actual opening hours and any funded-hours rules with the club or your local authority, and arrange supervision with the responsible adults before relying on a plan.

HYPOTHESIS / PROTOTYPE: $4 is a proposed one-time price for filing the childcare-gap docket, not a current sales offer. No measured time saving or buyer demand is claimed. The optional manual-retyping baseline above estimates one export’s retyping budget only; it does not change the calculation or guarantee savings.

Before using the childcare-gap docket

Use one row per holiday day with the hours you genuinely need supervised on that day, not a weekly average spread flat. Club hours mean the hours actually available to your child — subtract any lunch closure, registration window or session boundary your club enforces, under one stated convention. If two children attend different clubs, either keep separate rows per child or combine only days where the same club covers both. The review mark is your own tolerance for a daily gap before you arrange something else; it is not a service standard. The calculator cannot know about grandparents, sitters or swaps you have not entered, so treat its total as the uncovered portion of the plan you supplied.

Boundary and sources

Method: For each day compute required minus offered and keep only positive results; negative results become zero because a Tuesday surplus cannot supervise Monday. Add the remaining positives for the total uncovered hours. The row workings show each day's surplus separately so the no-banking assumption stays visible.
All sample records, dates, quantities and labels are invented. No outside policy, contract, rate, clock offset, measurement or accessibility standard is represented as verified.
Google’s official pricing documentation, fetched 2026-10-01, says AI Studio is free in available regions. Optional formatting may require a Google account; manual local entry requires none. Limits can change and free-tier content may be used to improve products. Do not send private records.

Optional AI formatting, never the calculation

Manual entry completes this childcare-gap docket for free without signup. If available to you, the free AI Studio interface linked in the sources may format fictional or non-sensitive notes; external access may require an account. No API key or AI call is built into this tool. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Review each cell and transcribe it to the labeled row schema; do not paste the JSON object into the row box.

Format only these fictional or non-sensitive notes for a childcare-gap docket. Return strict JSON shaped as {"rows": [{"label": "string", "cells": ["string", "string"]}], "setting": "string"}. The columns are Day code | required hours | club open hours; the setting is Daily shortfall review mark (hours). Keep all supplied strings and quantities exactly; do not calculate, infer missing entries, invent dates or add advice. If any required value is missing, return an empty rows array and ask me for it separately. I will verify every cell against my source and manually transcribe rows using vertical bars before running the local calculator.

An AI response is not executed, fetched or trusted as a result. Missing values remain questions; the strict local parser checks the rows you actually enter.
