Hi All
I have a new starter who is on a 2 week settling period. However hours agreed etc and now mum has asked if Child S can go to an after school club on a Tuesday and me to collect him an hour later at 1615.
I had to say no for the following reasons:
1) I have 9 children that day (includes Child S and my own 4). I dont think it is fair to pick 8 of them up from school, walk them home and drop their bags off then to walk straight back to collect Child S - there is nowhere to go in between due to not enough time. There is a baby park but this will not satisfy those over 6 for which there is 4!
2) It clashes some weeks with Child J's pick up at 1615. His mum is a nurse so this is dependent upon mus hours.
3) I cook meals for all children staying after 1630. If I am having to do an additional school run this impacts on this.
I don't think Ive been unfair and had mum mentioned this beforehand I would not have agreed to having Child S. Therefore I think I may get notice as I cannot fulfill this now.
I don't think I'm being unreasonable as I have to consider all in my setting both Mindees and my own. Any views though please?
