[Dragonfly]

Hi, im a new member and not sure if im doing things right here.My question is i have an 11year old mindee who has to catch the school bus from school to my house after school(the school is 3 miles away)5 days a week, i haven't got any policies/paperwork to say he is not my responsibility until he arrives at my house do you think i should have?not sure how i would word it any suggestions? He has been doing it since he was 10 and he is 12 in September.Thanks Durell

Have a look here

It's a very good site and has lots of policies you can adapt - there is one for independent arrival at the childminders

Get your policy sorted and then written permission from the parents to show that they understand you cannot accept responsibility until the child arrives at your house
