Hi there,
Yes you should definitely be getting paid for those days. That´s utter nonsense that she would expect you to mind her child during paid holiday days.
Hope you get that one sorted.

Hi I term time childmind and dont get any holiday pay or bank hols but this was the arrangement we had in place in the first place so it doesn´t bother me. If i have the child during holiday time i get paid the daily rate.
However if uv holiday pay of four weeks agreed and I was asked to mind the child and not get paid for it, this would immediately "annoy me" "feel used" etc. Especially if she a teacher getting fulll holiday pay, there are many teachers that dont get holiday pay etc.
There is two ways you can work it:
1) Mind the child for the two days, receiving no pay, and live with it, keeping the whole situation happy between you. And hope she not going to ask for more days.
2) Or immediately point out the difference between holiday pay and the extra days you´v worked. I did have to point out once that when the child was sick I needed paying as I was available to work. If you let yourself be a doormat, unfort some people will walk on you.
However thread carefully as money is one of those things that send people to 100 in a second.
