I had one leave yesterday. We had a completely free play day with them doing exactly what they wanted. The children spent most of the day playing in the garden with all their favourite toys.

At lunch time we had a big party food picnic - pizza, sausage rolls, crisps...even chocolate cake! Then we gave her some cards the children had made and a couple of presents I'd got her.

I had one leave for school in summer, I let her decide what we did that day and what we had for lunch etc.

She chose the cinema (kids am!) an indoor picnic lunch and soft play in the afternoon :)

In my case, I nearly blew a fuse. :mad:

Parents "assumed" I'd do a party for their fussy little princess. They provided a list of party food she'd like and another list of her friends (not mindees) I should invite. Dad even thought he was being helpful by mentioning he had a mate who'd "do me a deal" on a bouncy castle or petting ponies. :eek:

Tbf, a couple of my other mindees/grandchildren wanted to celebrate the fact she'd be leaving (and for a different school to theirs, too.) :laughing:

Yes the parents who gave me notice while I was on holidays last year out of the blue to move him to a nursery arrived with a bag of party food and requested I took lots of photos! Thought it was a bit cheeky to be honest! Not as bad as yours though bunyip!

Wow just wow can't believe some of the requests you have had from parents !!! Think if any of mine were to be like that I would say I'm doing what I'm doing you can hold a party of your own at your house cheeky beggars.
I like others allow them to choose what we do on their last day and I buy a small gift x

Yeah. Bad enough all the local cats, dogs and other assorted flea-farms cr4pping on the lawn: but a pony in pink ribbons??!!??:p :eek:

Tbh, I don't mind genuine requests (ie. the ones that permit me to say "no" without anyone 'taking offence'). It's the expectation that I'll comply to someone's demands that I dislike. :mad:
