Can I / Should I Give Parent Notice?
In July I had a 5 year old girl register. She initially wanted 2 days one week and 1 day the next; before and after school and full days in the hols. Not once has this been the case. I have had her 4-5 days a week before and after school and even more in the holidays. However at the end of August I was on annual leave for 2 weeks. The parent was meant to let me know her September hours ASAP. She text me on the 1st saying she was off for 2 weeks which meant I didn't know what I could charge her as she hadn't actully booked any hours. I decided to just leave it and see what hours she wanted after the 2 weeks, even though I know she should be paying for that time. I received another text from her today saying she is now going to be off for a further 6 weeks!!! Again she has no intention to pay for this space and I just don't know what to do. This contract has been a nightmare start to finish, no set hours, late payments, notpaying for time off and even called me a liar regarding the amount owed on her bill!!!! Should I now reply / send her a letter telling her the space has gone? I don't have anyone else wanting this space but I'm fed up of being messed about!
