what to do for a day trip out???

**emmadines** · 23-08-2008, 02:32 PM

ok I have decided to go to chatham docyard on tuseday this week (Im in maidstone) as I have the mindee. I thought it would be a good idea to get him and my 2 out (save my sanity)

anyway they have signed a permission form for me to talek the child out and are useually hppy for this!

Local Outings (To Shops, schools, pre-schools & local facilities)
To take my child off the premises for local outings such as walks, trips to the library, etc
 On Foot
 On public transport (bus, coach or train)
 In childminder’s vehicle driven by the childminder’s partner in their car on local trips (without notice)
 With the Childminder in another vehicle (this may be for a trip locally in another childminder’s car which you will be notified of before this happens or in an emergency situation a taxi or family members car)
 Outings further afield – a special permission slip will need to be signed for this at the time
 To carry emergency identification cards for my child. This includes any emergency contact numbers.

the question is should I write a permission slip for the trip stating it will be ££ for entry or should I call them and ask them about it?

they litrally live opposite me!?!

Firstly I would pop over to them or ring them & tell them what you are planning. If they are ok with it them ask them if they will pay.

I would quickly type up another permission slip for the trip stating where you are going too.

Ha ha dont think I wrote it the best.

I meant if you go over & big it up they are more likely to pay for their child rather then you having too!!

I thought i wrote my 1st one in the wrong way? as i had 25 lookers and no reply

they said just let them know if a day outs planned and they will pay for their boy, its £9 per child so dont perticularly want to pay that. but i know he would enjoy it!

Ohhh I love the dockyard. So did DS when he was young. Haven't beent there for a few years now though

. Spooky, I just watched it on Coast saw the Rope Walk and then come on here and you are talking about it

Have you been to the Museum of Kent Life in Aylesford? DS & DD used to love it there and then would go for a play in the Malta play area.
