I undesratnd they are a private company so can dictate how they operate but is it actually legal to do thi. I'm a single self-employed parent with a DC in a nursery. DC had a temp two days ago and I was told to do the pick-up within an hour. Previously it was not a problem bar one occasion. This time I couldn't physically be there within an hour, which is what I told the manager, who just went silet.
Is that actually legal? How am I supposed to work and pay their extortionate fees (i'm in London) but then risk losing work because of having to drop everything to run a pick up DC. Of course I was going to go there as soon as I could but not withinh such a rigid time frame. There is no one else that can pick up DC in such situ, if there was a real emergency, there is DC's father who lives 2 hours away and a friend of mine who they have on emergency list. What do single parents with no support network, no family, are supposed to do?
