CM C lub: quick question for those who do school pick ups

[TheIronLady]

If you are doing nursery/school pickups and also have mindee in holidays, would you expect the mindee to be delivered to you at home or would you expect to meet the child with parent at the 'closed' school?

I ask for child to be dropped off at my house!

Delivered to your house (usually early, then collected late, inappropriatly dressed & already "BORED" & hungry)

Delivered to my house!

Not a good day Katy?

No actually quite a good one - but no over 8's (except for DD's Best Friend)

I don't do school age very well

I only had one over 8, one 5/8 and my littles, but we went out fo rthe day so it was easy.

last year I had 4 over 8's and no 5/8's, and that was harder work than the under 5's!

THEIRONLADY - I have a very sinking feeling about your post btw

Thanks everyone

Tell me they didn't?

Hi Katymac

Do you mean who I am or what I have been asked to do?

X posts!!

The worst thing is I dont even charge the 20 mins time it takes to get to school but because I cant pick up from their house they want to meet at school - I said no!

I thought you were waiting at home & they were at school....at least you are in the planning stage

Oh I see - oh god no, can you imagine - doesnt bear thinking of eh!!

I don't think I have ever met a childminder who has been expected to be at a closed school for drop-off (this is one for discussion at the next toddler group!)

I also think that any childminders who actually collect children from their homes are doing parents a big favour - it is not something many of us do as it's not easy to logistically arrange it if you have several children.
