...to pretend not to hear the bell.....

...when the parents of a child I care for (childminder) turn up on the door-step 20 minutes early because "they were ready" (or even 10 or 5 minutes?). It's just so rude.

I cannot imagine that many people have got their own children and themselves and the dog ready and are sitting waiting for their working day to begin......

its annoying but you still have their child you gotta giver him pr her back lol

It's just rude. My nursery open 7-8 for breakfast club but as we're not booked in, if I get there a bit early, DD & I stay in the car until I hear the 8am pips on the radio. If they want more time, they should pay...
