Gall dyddiadau tymhorau gwahanol beri problemau i rai teuluoedd, gan gynnwys anawsterau wrth ddod o hyd i ofal plant, yn ogystal â’r her o dalu costau ychwanegol am ofal plant. Er enghraifft, yn ystod rhai blynyddoedd, mae’n bosib y bydd gwyliau’r Pasg yn wahanol iawn yn achos teuluoedd lle mae un rhiant/gofalwr yn addysgu mewn ysgol a gynhelir gan un awdurdod lleol a lle mae’r plant yn mynychu ysgol a gynhelir gan awdurdod lleol arall. Yn ei dro, gall hyn olygu bod yn rhaid i’r teulu ddod o hyd i ragor o ofal plant, a thalu amdano. Gall problemau tebyg godi pan fo gan deulu aelodau mewn gwahanol fathau o ysgolion, a dyddiadau tymhorau ysgolion hynny’n wahanol i’w gilydd.
Different term dates can cause problems for some families, including difficulties with finding childcare, as well as the challenge of meeting additional childcare costs. For example, a family in which a parent/carer teaches at a school maintained by one local authority, but the children are pupils at a school maintained by another local authority, may find in some years that they have significantly different Easter holidays. This in turn can mean that family having to source and fund extra childcare from the family budget. Similar issues can arise when a family has members associated with different types of schools, where one or more of these works to different term dates.
