Leaver daughter in the playground?

[Fairyloo]

My dd is year 2. For me to be on time for work I need to leave school at 8.56 school starts at 9am.

Aibu to leave her with friends in playground? I was thinking of saying to one of the other mums can you just keep an eye on her? It's too late for before school but makes me feel uneasy just leaving her

If there are friends' parents there, she'll be fine. Keeping an eye on a child for a few minutes is a favour I'd happily do.

Our school doesn't let children below year 3 wait unattended on the premises (though playground is open for 30 mins before doors open). This was explained in terms of legal/insurance requirements to have the right staff ratio for the younger ones as this is more tightly regulated than for older children and they take the view that they are responsible for dropped off children. They'd totally laid back about parents sharing surveillance.

If she's a normal 6 yo ,not known for doing silly things, She will be absolutely fine.

I regularly keep an eye out for dd's friend who is left for up to ten minutes since reception (her yr2 bri was still in infant playground too then)

I asked a mum to watch DD once when I has to leave at 8.30 for a crazy set of reasons.

I suppose our school playground is quite friendly then really,

At our school parents are even supposed to stay in the playground although its like a fog of em sometimes...makes it hard to see the kids.

At year 2 she is plenty old enough to be left in the playground and this i prob what the school want anyway. It's only 4 minutes, she will be fine :)

Ok you have all really helped I'm being a bit ott with pfb

Several parents have left their DC with me for a few minutes before the doors open at school (not all at the same time ) because they have to get to work, have a doctors appointment, are having their hair done etc. I'm fine with this, normally they'd mention it to me the day before, and if it was going to be every day it'd be good to have a back up.

I've never had to actually do anything with these children, other than make sure they go into school and take their lunchbox and book bag with them.

I think YANBU to ask a couple of parents, particularly if you're around at home time and could have a play date to say thanks a couple of times a term.

we arent allowed into the playground so the kids have to be left to go in by themselves. There are staff in the playground from 8.45am and the bell rings at 8.55am.

There are a couple of mums who need to do this in my son's year 2. Ask one of your closer friends to just keep an eye on them. Then you know that if they needed someone they could go to that person. I sometimes do it for a friend and tell the little girl to wave at me and i will pass it on to her mum. ;)
