I have cared for a child since child was 10 months, child is now 34 months old. Gradually mindee's behaviour became more of a challenge in the last year and a half. Have discussed strategies with parents etc but they appear to be in complete denial stressing that behaviour is boisterous and showing off. I totally disagree with them and although I have spoken to our Local Early Years team (who when we are at the Children's Centre playgroups, can also see the type of unwanted behaviour mindee displays) the parent still feels any support or intervention ie. perhaps obtaining funding to get some 1-1 in my setting for 15 hrs pw, is not necessary and does not want her child labelled which is far from what I am trying to do, so have not been able to get parents on board.
I have come to a very difficult decision and have asked for mindee to attend at reduced hours this week (as a cooling off period) so as not to come into contact with 2 other children who have refused to come because of mindee, ie they cry and will not come through the door without being picked up and placed inside my house!
This has become a terrible situation whereby 3 of the children in my care have been so affected in a (emotionally especially) negative way by mindee's behaviour, that I feel contact should not take place between them.
Can anybody please help me with a letter of termination? I will give four weeks notice as agreed in our Contract but the hours mindee can attend are 'reduced' hours only so as to prevent contact with the other children. So do I need to list the behaviours in the letter? Parents are aware of all behaviours.
I have of course implemented many strategies to try and help the child overcome these behaviours without fail.
Can anybody please help with letter.

Many thanks in advance.
