No not the best start. .!
I've said today that I'll let it go today but if it happens again then I will issue late collection fees.
They're next in on Fri really hope it doesn't happen then as we've got plans to go out for the day ( tickets booked and planned before child started but thought we can go as soon as child is collected, would it be rude to send a message explaining i have plans fri so she cannot be late picking up?

I would suggest you do text her. But something casual like 'forgot to say when you collected today that when you collect xxx on Friday at 10.00am (or whatever time the contracted collection time is) our chat will have to be brief as I'm going straight out as I've got tickets booked. Apologises in advance. Have a good week. Or something along this line and be ready with your coat on.

Yes I think you are right, yes that sounds friendly and not bossy!
Thanks

Well I've messaged her so we will see.

I wouldn't mind but we've booked to have a day out with my mum and my daughter which is a rare thing as I don't get to see my own mum very often so we are really looking forward to it. It's been booked ages x
