Does anyone know if I can terminate a contract with a childminder without notice ?

My childminder is looking after too many children , does this void our contract ?

Cm's child has hurt my child on a few occasions and I've noticed the injuries at bath time - she had not informed me. When I questioned her about then she knew nothing of them she said.

Any help ? I'm going crazy with it running round and round in my head !

Keenly awaiting update. We had to ditch a CM, for different reasons to yours, so sympathise, but not sure if I can offer any practical support at the moment...

What do you mean by too many children? Is she is over her Ofsted numbers or do you mean that she just has more children than you feel she can safely handle? If she is over her Ofsted numbers and you are sure that she doesn't have a registered assistant (it could be a family member) then you should report her to Ofsted and withdraw your child immediately. I doubt that she would chase you for payment in this case.

How old is your child and what sort of injuries are they?
