Today and next thrus i have to take dd to settling in session at her new school for september. I need to take her on my own without two mindees hanging on to me. she needs to know i'm with just her (long story, had alot of offish behaviuor from her and deducted she was feeling left out, now have set mummy times and we're alot better!) anyway! i spoke to both sets of parents and explained, both agreed i should take her on my own so i arranged a friend (not a cm) who is crb checked, chair of dd's pre-scholl and doing her nvq in childcare at mo to come and watch the children (who are likely to be asleep anyway) for the 1/2 hour i'm away.
now one mindees paretn said fine and thanks for sorting it so they don't need time off work! but the other one was not happy with stranger looking after child (friend is not strnager as we play together lots!) so ahe has arranged her parent to come and collect grnadchild for the time i'm away. i said they could perhaps take her to park and then bring her back. orignally was happy to bring her back for me to continue minding for rest of the day, but has now said she won't be returning for the day.
so it's her choice not to use me for the rest of the day but i'm out for a short while. now i think she will amend the invoice i gave her on monday to decut the pay from the time grandparents pick lo up. do you think i should aks for pay for the rest of the day or am i pushing my luck!
