Translate a Nursery Contract's Notice Period Clause Into What You Actually Owe

You are pulling your child out of nursery, maybe for school, maybe for a childminder, and the notice period clause is written so it's unclear whether you owe two weeks or two months. This translates the clause into a plain answer: how much notice, what short notice costs, and when the last payment is due.
