There are different viewpoints over childminding and when the child trundles back. For example; our old childminder lived on our street, and when my wife or I got home from work we would pop straight round and get the kids, even if it was quite early. Conversely, one of her other customers lived just over the road and would frequently arrive home early, but not pick up his daughter until the time was up. If I saw her out with the kids, I would certainly wander over to say hello; blanking them because the ‘time wasn’t up’ and it would be awkward genuinely wouldn’t cross my mind.
There’s no right or wrong here - after all, she’s being paid to do a job. From a different perspective, it’s entirely possible that she mistakenly assumed you’d like your daughter back a bit early as you’d obviously finished your appointment, and sent her across under observation with a miniature escort. A poor way to do it admittedly, but not necessarily malicious.
If there’s a history of worrying behaviour then that’s another thing. Reporting her to Ofsted on the back of one zero-impact incident is a bit OTT though.
I am sorry that you found it tedious though. I often wish that like you, I could also compose topics such as
'So warm, the pedals dropped off the Velcro'.
I've been on the edge of my seat ever since June 28th, please you have to tell me; have you ordered a higher quality velcro yet?
I have a phone on me at all times, two in fact, work and personal. In your shoes, I would just have called her, and sorted it out on the spot. Job done.
The reason my posts are less ‘interesting’ than yours is because I don’t need a bunch of strangers on a guitar forum to validate my overreactions to personal situations.
My feedback thread is here.
Many people would be able to just call straight away and know what to say and the tone to speak in. I'm less aware of what is and isn't 'socially acceptable' so I needed unbiased opinions from those people before I tried to deal with the unfamiliar situation before me.
