Hi all, sorry not been around for ages, but have been busy getting business all started and new mindees starting etc, EYFS and not had time to visit forum.
I was supposed to have a new mindee starting today but she hasn't turned up, no contact from parent nothing? they came to visit me 2 weeks ago and asked me to prepare the contracts for them to sign the following week, I didn't hear from them so i called them to see when they were coming back to sign paperwork, I didn't take a deposit as they were due to start the following week so it didn't really seem worth it. They said they would come and sign contract on Tuesday after bank holiday last week, they didn't turn up so I just assumed they didn't need me anymore, as I had chased them several times about setting a time to come.
Last friday they just turned up without calling, saying they had come to sign up and wanted daughter to start today. I went through all paperwork they signed contracts and went off saying see you Tuesday.
Today comes and nothing,
I'm pretty dam annoyed now, I have wasted a contract for nothing it seems, I really think that they are probably going to be more hassle than worth and think should cancel contract, is it right that unless that child has arrived in my care the contract hasn't started?
so in that case i can cancel the contract with them? i'm sure that would be the right thing to do, as if they have been this much hassle before we start it can only get worse..
do you think I should do this ?
help.. sorry for the woffle..
