At the end of the day you are doing a job and deserve to be paid.

I hope the mum takes it ok. Good luck!

Let us know how you get on

Good luck hon. I think the parent will actually consider herself fortunate to have found a minder who was understanding also. Hope everything goes ok x x

You must not feel bad at all! You wouldn't go to tesco and not pay for your shopping! Keep your chin up and get it done. (((HUGS))))

i cant get hold of mum not answerin phone/text been to her house her shop im gunna lose the other lo as cant mess them around i also no i have to be proffesional and give notice or she needs to sign letter asap as a agreed what would you do

**sarah707** · 30-04-2010, 12:31 PM

There is no legal or other requirement for a parent to sign a letter to confirm you are giving them notice.

You can put a letter in the post, to be signed for when it arrives, with details about the child's last day and the amount owed.

keep a copy for your records and that's all you legally have to do.

As the parent has agreed to it, there shouldn't be any surprise anyway.

Don't lose a new child because you can't contact another parent. xx

I agree with Sarah, post it through the door today, notice will be effective from today then.

yes just put the letter through her door and keep a copy for your file. I have never heard of this before I didn't get a letter signed by my parent when I gave notice.

good luck sweetie xxx

Hi

,
I agree with the others: you don't need parents' agreement to terminate. Good luck with new lo. I think the previous Mum was very lucky to have had you on 'standby' for so long and hopefully she appreciates that

.

bws,
Wendy

hi the letter to be signed is a letter to terminate without notice mum said she would 2wks ago if i could fill place, if i give 4weeks notice i dont need signature just spoke to ncma again as tryed all day to get hold of the mum and they have said i can take a chance send letter to terminate immediately and hopefully mum want take legal action against me or do 4wks notice im stressed dont no what to do cant afford to lose new lo tho. wish i could just speak to her to sort it out.
