we had a spate of parents trying to drop off early but found that we were not insured for them before 9.15 so are very strict on it now, after all that is our setting up time and this can be hazardous if the children are around, and you loose one memeber of staff who is looking after the children.
all the parents know what time we start!! therefore should arrange things around that time.
we have one persistent one that keeps saying she had booked docs appointment and there isnt enough time to get there, so i have said to her that we wil see her child later. some people i do think try it on all the time
