thumperrabbit Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Does anyone tell their parents how little we get from the government for each child? and has this made any difference? I did think about it a couple of years ago and asked my PLA advisor (don't have one now!) what she thought and she advised me not to - to be honest not sure what her answer was now, but can remember thinking 'whatever' at the time! For me it's just over £2.20 a session less per child I'm not sure the parents would think anything of that, I might put it on my next newsletter.

Mouseketeer Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm more like 'do you know how much that piece of paper is worth to you and all you had to do was sign it and send it back and you couldn't even be bothered to do that' lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Does anyone tell their parents how little we get from the government for each child? and has this made any difference? Last year I had a conversion with a parent who complained about the £2 lunch club fee. I pointed out that mum didn't have to pay and suggested maybe she brought her own lunch along too and took the child out for a picnic lunch in the park , then returned him for the afternoon. We had a lengthy conversion about little we get for the other 6 hours (am+pm sessions). Mum then sort of 'clicked' and said that was why another setting near us managed to charge and extra £35 per week... She returned at the end of the session with a check for lunch club fees.......... and now (the child has left for school) she sends in lots of her very good condition outgrown games, puzzles and toys :1b :1b :1b Some parents are nice.. :1b 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Mom took the child out and placed her in the nursery attached to the school next door. . Pretty certain its what she wanted to do all along, she just wanted a reason for disrupting her childs last couple of terms that she could blame on someone else. Friend works in the school and she's heard very loud and prolonged screaming, such a shame for the child but a huge relief for our staff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
