Hi
After some advice.
Parent brings little one here once a week, he has been ill quite a few times since he started and has therefore not attended on a regular basis.
Anyway child was due Tuesday but child unwell and in hospital (has been back and fore having tests etc to see what is wrong) that same day parent was due to some and review contract.
She eventually turned up and only told me child was not attending as she came through door.
She told me that her little one would have to go to hospital each tuesday (the day child attends my care) so she would like to end contract but then said she would like him to still keep contact so I asked her did she mean she no longer wanted care on a tuesday and wanted to change to another day to which she said yes.
So she agreed she would bring little one on Friday, she told me she would call me later that day to confirm how long little one would be attending hospital on the tuesday.
She never called me so I called her this morn, no answer but she text me straight back and said she was leaving hosp and would call me later.
Just had text from her to say little one still not well today, hoping he would be ok to come friday and she would be in touch etc.
The thing is she was suppost to pay me on Tues (just gone) for the following week but she didnt even mention it and I didnt like to say anything because of the circumstances and was hoping she would mention it today but nothing?
What should I do? I dont want to seem insensitive etc but I do need the money???
Also thing is not the first time parent has not paid me on time, it is a regular thing.
Just worried she wants to end contract and not pay the notice period.
Im sorry this is a million questions in one but it is very confusing and Im just not sure what to do!
Help :panic:
