Hiya,
I had 2 children start with me last Monday. They are 9 and 11 so the dad drops them off and leaves - in fact he drives off before I even open the door :rolleyes:
Anyway last Thursday I told the children to tell their dad that he needed to come in on Friday to sign the register etc Friday came and he didn't come in and was gone before I had the chance to say anything. I gave the invoice for next weeks money to the children (what else could I do?) and told them to tell dad that he really needed to come in Monday to sign the register, sign the accident book (RE R's spots) and sort out payment. Monday came and R came in with an envelope containing the payment and dad drove off :panic: This time, sure that dad would come in, I had had all the paper work out on the table and the list of things needing signatures had grown to include parental responsibility forms (thanks guys :rolleyes: :laughing: ). So on Monday I said look its really important dad comes in tomorrow I have to get the register signed once a week. I gave them the parental responsibility forms (as mum needs to sign it too anyway).
Guess what - Dad drove off again today :angry:
I am certain the kids are passing on my messages as B (older mindee) told me today he was half way through the PRF - HOWEVER - I am wrong to just assume and therefore want to start with a nice friendly letter then move on to a formal letter explaining what happens if he doesn't come in (termination) if that doesn't work. Problem is, I am a new childminder and the kids have only been with me a week and a half and I am scared of causing offence/problem as I am really not very good at writing letters.
Would really appreciate some help here guys!
P.S R's spots are apparently spider bites :eek: :eek: :panic:
