i have coats/nappies/cups/bottles that live at my house which is great as they are never forgotten but take up space in my cupboards

Lots of my parents leave extra coats, clothes etc....At least so far no parent has forgotten their child!! although they do on occasions forget to tell me if they're going to be late for dropoff etc.

coats are often forgotten as most arrive in their cars and don't need them for the journey to my home.

Wipes/nappy sacks are often forgotten, too.

I am equally guilty of not packing up all of mindies belongings - quite often after everyone has gone home I find someone's sock, dummy, teddy etc.

Fireflyfairy - I think that is a great idea. We do know it's not on purpose, well most of the time

We are all human.

It's the forgetting of the nappies that I find a bit troublesome, mindee1 mummy and daddy do it quite a bit. Trouble is my dd is in cloth so no extras!

I forgot to leave ds's coat on Monday as I dropped him off early & I had an exam.

C/minder was a bit off with me later, even though I apologised, it was a genuine mistake!!

Sometimes I feel like she thinks I forget these things on purpose, yeah... as I like the thought if ds being without a coat & cold all day

Last summer I left a light jacket at her house all the time, as some mornings it was warm & he didn't need a coat, then it cooled later, am planning on doing it the next day he is there too

I have had forgotten shoes! He had to wear a pair of spare wellies all day. It was June!!! This morning, I had various children on the way to school without rain coats. The worst one was a dummy! She only liked old, worn in ones, so it was a hell of a day!!
