I was told quite a while ago that my full time mindee would be going down to 4 days in July as grandparent would be semi retiring and having one day a week. She told me at the time she would only have him one day week as loves the groups i take him to and her mum didnt have that social circle to go to with him. Thought great:)
Then a month ago was given notice that going down to 4 days now as other grandparent said would have him every friday to help with childcare costs.
I assumed this was only a temporary thing as these grandparents have quite alot of holidays and parents mum whose semi retiring in july would take over as she said she'd probably have him over night then.
Yesterday as we wrote out contract she said we'll have to review again in July when he goes down to 3 days. But she said it so quickly didnt twig first of all.
I didnt mind losing him one day as it means i will finish eary on a friday and intend to use my afternoon to do paperwork.
But 2 days I will lose about £250 a month and I think she thinks i will be there on those days to have him when his grandparents cant. She already said you'll probably have him back full time when he starts nursery as I'll save money while he's at nursery. Put her straight on that one.
Im going to have to start advertising to fill those 2 days as I only have 3 children on my books.
I know this happens in our line of business but this is worrying me. Im a real worrier.:(
