After speaking with this child minder since July, and having everything in place as in days my son would need to be looked after, exchanges of documents and funding in place. The childminder decided to cancel and say to me she can’t look after my son with no valid reasoning.
She quoted he has allergies which he does and it is a lactose allergy to which we had agreed I would be providing all his breakfasts and lunches to make it easier for her although this would be more work for me as child minders are usually providing lunch and breakfast.
She left with me two weeks notice till I start work after returning from maternity leave. She has left me with alot of stress now how can I find a setting or provision to look after my son in less than two weeks. She has known since July and confirmed everything and to cancel. This is deeply inconsiderate and unprofessional I will never recommend this service to anyone especially if your child has an allergy as she had clearly discriminated against him. She offered no apology and no explanation or understanding of her actions.
I cannot give any stars to this service
