    What happened in the end, I hope it was sorted amicably. Mum and Dad need to talk for the sake of the children.

    Whatever you do try not to take sides, if dad has pr he has every right to collect the children and you cannot stop him , you could try distraction until mum gets there but you can't refuse him unless there is a cout order in place preventing him and in that case you would ring the police.

    Good luck, stay strong and professional.

    Mum and Dad are not speaking, only through solicitors so I'm caught in the firing line. I would never refuse Dad taking his own children and up until today I have welcomed him into my home, took him to toddler group with us and included him in all progress reports and photos. I know he is angry and frustrated but I cannot allow him to intimidate me at my home whilst I am caring for other children and will be sending both parents a letter outlining my position.

    Thank you for everyone's advice and support, it has been a great help to me today x

    Pleased you getting there.Pleased you are sending both parents a letter. I hope it gets easier. I know it hard but they have to remember the effect this is having on the child.The child may only feel things are stable whilst in your care. Hope it all turns out well. Well done on today.x
