Im going to call a parents meeting and tell all the parents when they are all together, im going to do this in April and have told her what im going to do and its her choice if she wants to be there or not, im not going to bad mouth her as i dont feel its either appropriate or proffesional, Im just going to make them aware of the situation and they can make thier own mids up from there.

I can understand where she is coming from tho as her place isent even registerd yet so she hasent really got anywere to go in may, but on the other hand im not being used as a base until she sorts her place out

Dose anyone know if she is entiteled to anything else ( the agreement we came to is I keep the business name, logo and anything to do with it ie website and bank account) and she keep the car once it has been de stickerd is there anything else im missing, for some reason she is very intrested in the books and bank account.

Also we havent got a contact or anything we just came to a verbal agreement when we first started up

I would hurry up and get some legal advice. If she's asking about books and bank accounts, I bet she's getting advice from somewhere.

Out of interest, where is she registered from as a childminder? Is she registered at her own house or yours? Why doesn't she childmind from her own house for now?

sorry - you get to keep the business name and bank account and she gets to keep the CAR???? Did you buy the car jointly as a business expense and how new was it?? I only ask as it sounds like the most expensive asset to your business.
I think you need to work out everything that was bought jointly by the business, literally every last resource - what its worth and who gets what - make sure she's not diddling you as it all sounds very iffy to me.

Anyone can open a business bank account hun so if she wants it let her have it. Tbh you'd be better off with just your own current account as business banking is a lot of hassle.

Who designed the logo and does it really matter whether you have it or not?

I mean lets face it - it sounds like she's leaving you the stuff she doesn't want/need. There is no point to her having your business name if its a childminding based name if she's opening a nursery, ditto to the logo.

Make sure you get your fair share of everything by the sounds of it she'll bleed you dry otherwise.

My partner owns his own garage and he got us the car, plus i cant drive yet so the car would be no use to me, my partner has already got my a newer version on the same car in automatic anway so i can learn in it. To be honest I really dont care as im based from my house so the only bills i have to pay are the ones i pay anyway, ive worked it out and i only really need 1 full time child or the equivelent to pay my bills anything else would just be a bonus. I just cant wait to start up on my own so just looking forward really. Ive already decided im telling the parents in april she can tell the parents what she likes at the end of the day its up to the parents where they want to take thier child no one else, hopefully at least a coupler will be happy to stay with me

DO NOT GIVE HER THE BOOKS !
cLOSE THE BANK ACCOUNT!

gET HER OUT OF YOUR HOUSE!

why does she want the business name???/ is she planning on using it as xxxx has moved to a new place?
be careful and tel the parents now so you can have contracts in place BEFORE the new tax year

i really dont understand what would she gain if she had the bank account and books???? as far as I was concerned the books and account are in the business name we go halfs on everything so I dont get what the big deal is. Am i missing something??? does she know something I dont about the accout as it is a business joint account in both of our names.

Have you considered hiring 1 or 2 new assistants and keeping all the children? At least for the time being?
