Dropping Off
I would appreciate if you could let me know in advance if you are going to be arriving at a different time that arranged in our contract. I may not be ready to care for your child f you arrive unexpectedly early. I may have to take children to school or nursery and will not be able to wait for you if you are late. I leave my house at 8.30am sharp for the school run. If you are running late you should phone me prior to this time and arrange to meet me at the school, back at my house or at another suitable place that will not disrupt the day of the other children in my care. If you need to change your contracted hours, please discuss this with me.
Collection
Please let me know who is going to be collecting your child each day so as I know who to expect. I will only release your child from my care to adults who have permission to collect him/her as you have listed in our contract. In the event of an emergency, we can operate a password system where you can send someone not authorised to collect your child but who is able to give a password. Please discuss with me if you would like to use this system.
I understand that sometimes delays are unavoidable but would appreciate if you could contact me to let me know if you are going to be late. Children learn routine very quickly and know when their parents are due. If you are late your child may become distressed so it is important that you try to arrive at the arranged time. In the event of you being delayed I will reassure your child that you are on your way and if necessary organise additional activities and a meal.
If I have not heard from you and you are very late (30 minutes) I will try to make contact with you. If I am unable to make contact with you then I will try your emergency contact numbers.
During this time, I will continue to safely look after the child.
I reserve the right to make an additional charge for late collection.
