Not dd this time though!
Took dd in this morn, have 3 mindees with me, baby, nursery age and reception.
I take dd first, then reception and nursery child goes in afternoon.
Stood inside school but outside DD's classroom as they let us in early due to weather..need to tell dd's teacher about something urgently, so make sure all 3 mindees are stood outside classroom door holding onto pushchair..is step inside (am still near door but have my back to mindees)say what i need to say and come out...mindee (reception) is walking away down corridoor with a child i dont know..i shout her back and ask her where she is going and that she KNOWS she doesnt go off with anyone!...HEAD TEACHER who was stood in hallway when we came in (and heard me tell children to hold buggy and stay there for one second!) in hall way says "oh i told X to take her down to her classroom"!!!???????...at WHAT farking point was she A- going to tell me WHERE my mindee had gone? and B-Realise that children left in YOUR care are YOUR responsability..just becasue she cant be botherd ensuring adequate staff levels when children are sahoved outside, that doesnt mean i would let my mindees wander through school, not knowing if they actually GOT to class or not(biggish school).!!FFS
She KNOWS im a childminder, yet she seems to excel herself at being totally unconcerned and aware of her/my responsability!
If i tell a mindee to hold onto buggy and stay there, i dont expect a head to basically say oh ignore her and do this!!!
