I have two minded children aged 4 and 2.5. I also have my son who is 4.5. They all attend the same playschool on various days (some the same day so i actually 3 hours paid time off :thumbsup:)
Anyway, my nephew also attends the same playschool and I am one of the emergency contacts and allowed to collect. On a few occasions, his Mum (my SIL) has been REALLY late collecting meaning all the staff hanging about waiting to go home. I stay and wait as well because I would hate the think of my poor nephew alone with no other kids. Today was the longest day and we could not get hold of SIL.
It got to the point where I suggested that if she did not arrive in 5 minutes I would take him and drop him straight off at my MIL's house meaning I would be 4 under 5's but literally in the car, 2 minutes down the road. (I have enough spaces and car seats to accommodate)
Would that be allowed as it is sort of an urgent situation? The playschool deputy manager is getting so annoyed with the lateness... The reason... SIL MASSAGE ran over time!!!!
