my daughter started junior school in September the school is really popular and we had to appeal to get her a place but the receptionists are making my life unbearable every week I have at least one issue to deal with through their incompetence to list just a few are
*a phonecall to tell me they have lost 2p of her dinner money
*they told me she could not have the school dinner I had paid for if she was 5 minutes late back from a dentist appointment
*after expressing concern she might forget to go to choir and double checking what time it ended being told she missed half an hour because the receptionists forgot she was meant to go and giving me wrong finish time so if I had not been running early she would have been waiting 20 minutes
*loosing a child I child mind for by telling me a club was still running when it had been cancelled
*not letting her take her dinner money to the office as they collect it from the classroom then not collecting it for 3 days
*AND TODAY a phonecall to say that her meal she has prepared especially because she has an allergy and has to be altered for her has been given to somebody else and she is in tears because there is nothing left she is not allergic too

DSs (10 & 8) go to the dentist every 4 weeks as they are having orthodontic treatment. I go in and fetch them, if they are late for lunch they have it at home, I do not expect the kitchen to hold dinner for them.

At DSs school is is the parent's responsibility to ensure their child goes to after school activities on time, not the office staff. I do not understand why your childminding means you can't get to school at the end of the school day

This is not the problem or fault of the office staff.

Soupdragon I went to fetch her but she was in playground parents aren't allowed through security door to collect children

I had told her to go to choir all i asked is if she forgot they reminded her as it was a new after school club I have to get to 3 schools in 15 minutes so is a rush especially when they are 10 minutes late releasing children most days I do not go to school at end of day just to tell children that I will be back in an hour to collect them
