fed up waiting in for them they said it will be today or tues after half term as i am usually out other days, was so convinced its today and shes not here yet. i ususally go to a group on a tues and have had to give it a miss because of her, dont want to wait in any longer, we wld be too late for group but could go out to park or something if i knew she wasnt going to arrive. is it worth calling them do you reckon?
My inspector told me on the phone that if she isn't there by 9.30am then it means she is not coming. She knew that people don't want to be waiting in and have groups to go to. They should all be clear about that shouldn't they? Good luck. x

She didnt say anything about timing, wish she had done, feels like such a wasted day now. Bet if we went out she'd turn up.

No, I think she's have come by now if today was the day. Only downside is you have to go though it all again after half term. I remember pacing up and down at snack time waiting for her to come...Valentines Day last year!

lovely valentines for you! we going out for a walk, tough if she arrives will have to wait for me! Not fair on kids to be in, when we would usually have gone out. Yep as you say got to wait now, its just prolonging the agony of it!

I was told by 930am so that I didn't have to cancel groups etc. X

I always thought same as others have said - if they haven't arrived by 9.30 am they aren't coming - it is such a pain that they can't specify which day as you are obviously expecting her - so not like nursery un announced visits.

There wont be time if she doesnt come soon! Its such a pain, can not see why they cant make an appointment, its not as if we have anything to hide and work the same way if she was here or not. grrrrr thanks for support all x:)

Mine have always said if they're not there by 10 it means they're not coming! They've always turned up by 9.30 and left before lunch! X

Did she come Jenny? My inspection is due tomorrow or Thursday or any day next week and she said if she wasn't there by 930 am to assume she wasn't coming. I am helping run a creche at a holiday club this week so abit of a pain! Hope you are okay - I know how stressed you must be feeling - as am I x

My inspector said if she is not in by 10.30 that's means she isn't coming that day. My friend said that she should come by 10am. 10.15 and she was not here so I presume that she is not coming, dressed kids and just before 10.30 left to go to the park. Come back and there is a phone call from her asking where I was as she came and I wasn't in. I must just missed her on the road. She came 1/2hour later. I was thinking that she would be very cross with me and grate me lower but she was ok.
