reason i ask is that (without giving to much detail away) parents of 2 mindees i look after have decided after 5 weeks of being with me that they are emigrating????
im really angry as ive spent £600 equipping my house specifically for these 2 siblings. and i feel they must have known all along that they were going to emigrate.
my notice period on both sides is 6 weeks,im so angry i cant stand the thought of having to deal with them for another 6 wks,they havent handed notice in yet,so i want to get there b4 they do!
has anyone had to give less than the contracted notice period and if so what happened?
also i think i could state a breach of contract as i was not informed untill the week they started that they suffer from reflux and need daily medication. any advice appreciated.

thats the worst when you have siblings as you lose two wages at once if they leave
i would contact ncma and i do agree that you should have been told about their medication b4 they started
i know what you mean by "i cant stand the thought of having to deal with them for another 6 wks"
while they are still with you thought you should advertise their places
personally i dont like babies too much i would rather have over 1's

im more of an over 2s type cm! but have bonded well with the twins,more of shame to piss them about then me,some parents really wind me up!!
i am advertising already and have someone coming round in an hour for 2 full timers who contacted me a few weeks ago but i HAD to turn them down because of the twins!
fingers xd!
also would you accept a notice to end contract by email? because as i understand it it has to be in writing?
