Received notice from a family yesterday, who only started in Feb. Due to their other child starting school in September they want "consolidate their childcare usage".
Therefore they have given me more than four weeks notice as they have said their childs last day with me will be the last day of term.
However, I would prefer to have been given the four weeks standard thus finishing earlier as:
I have been asked to provide holiday care for an ex-mindee who is now at a private school. This would allow me to cover the whole of his holiday as they break up sooner.
It will also make my own son's induction days at primary school easier as with this little mindee gone, I get an extra afternoon off a week, which co-incides with the induction day dates.
I am thinking that I want to put in my acceptance of termination letter that I am now infact giving four weeks notice that LO's last day will be 9th June.
However this could open up a can of worms as the private school child's parents is friends with the leaving child's parents.
Time to put myself first?
