Need to give a parent notice today could you please sanity check the following for me and let me know if it is ok?

Dear X & X,

It is with much regret that I feel it necessary to give you four weeks notice to terminate our contract. I feel that X is not settling in my childminding setting and that it is unfair to her to keep the contract on going.

As you know on Wednesday 27th August I logged X’s temprement throughout the session. Of the 2 hours and 45 minutes that X was with me she was unhappy for of 1 hour and 40 minutes of it. I feel that it is not in her best interests to keep placing her with me as she is so unhappy.

The Opportunity Links website will be able to give you a list of the other childminders available to you in Peterborough of the other childcare options open to you. The website address is: www.opportunity-links.org.uk

I am very sorry that our arrangement did not suit X.

Kind regards,

Claire... temperament... sorry can't help it! :cool:

Good letter, well written and clear... as Squeaky says you need to give dates for last session.

If child is really unhappy is it worth thinking about offering to end everything immediately with no prejudice - you don't need to pay me but please don't come back sort of arrangement...?

good luck! xx
