You may have noticed me mentioning that I am signing up a Lithuanian child. His mother old me he had some English but in fact he has none! It was incredibly difficult to get her to understand the finer points of the contract and she didn't get why she had to give me a cheque before he started. I gave up in the end and just told her to make sure that I had the cheque on Monday at pick up.
I feel uneasy .... I hope this works out better than the last one! She seems astounded by the paperwork and fees (£12.50 a day after school and considering that he's at mine till 7pm I think she's got off lightly!)
any advice folks?
How to proceed?
I've got him tomorrow for a settling in session so in hoping that he will find the courage to speak a few more words in English - fingers crossed he was just embarrassed to speak it in front of his mum....
Apart from that, they are both lovely! I'm just hoping that it works well and that I can help this lad settle. He is understandably scared and that's making him stroppy from what I can tell...
Ooer hope I won't regret this!
