Hoping somebody out there will be able to help.
Are there any situations where you could get out of a contract without the 4 weeks notice??
The reason i ask is that i have been having a 6 year old and her 11 year old brother for 1.5 hours a day 3 days a week just for the walk to school. As it is school holiday their mum asked if i would have them for the morning while she is at work 7.30-2.30, which i dont mind as it gives me extra money.
The problem is that the 11 year old keeps hitting my dd. I have only had him two full mornings but he has already hit her three times - all on the head with various objects. I have tried to tell him its not acceptable but it doesnt seem to sink in.
I am going to have to have a quiet word with his mum and see what that would do, but if it continues i do not want to have somebody coming into my home hitting my daughter whenever they feel like it - for no amount of money.
In this situation would i be able to terminate the contract immediately. The contract itself is only for the 1.5 hours per morning with the mention of what extra hours would be charged at.
Hope that makes sense and that somebody can help
