Stupid other driver

Where I drop my kids off at Granny's is a small side road off a residential road in a small town. The side road is a dead end that leads to a health centre and day care centre. It has two lanes at the junction with the 'main' road but quickly narrows for a short length as you go towards the health centre. When it was built they didn't leave enough space for full width pavements so there are narrow pavements and then a bumpy kerbed bit to stop cars going on the pavements. I've added a rough sketch.

I generally reverse into the side road and stop after Granny's parked car down the side road to drop my kids off. It only takes a minute. But the stupid cleaner for the day care centre tends to arrive at about the time this is happening (7am). She drives round the corner into the side road on the wrong side of the road (because of where Granny's car is parked near the corner) and then stops when she sees my car.

She won't reverse back into the 'main' road to let me out and seems to think there isn't room for her to pull over to the left after Granny's car. She just sits there waiting for me to reverse further down the side road to a wider bit so she can get past to the care centre car park.

It's still dark at 7am. When she sees my lights why can't she just stay in the 'main' road, or behind Granny's car until I've dropped the kids off, or pull over as soon as she's past it? I think there's enough room for her to pull over. She must be a rubbish driver if she thinks there isn't.

Why do you block the road? Can’t you just park? Can you park in the Health centre car park and walk them up?

Totally ridiculous I know but for some reason op decided to try and manipulate everyone

Afternoon, all. We're going to close this thread to new posts now. The OP has admitted that this is a 'reverse' thread (about reversing, confusingly) and to save any further confusion we think it's best if we prevent anyone else posting on it who hasn't seen the 'reverse' update.
