Hi,

I have been given an interim order that says collect from nursery on Thursday for tea drop at 7.30 and collect friday and drop saturday 6pm.

Last thursday the nursery called me to say someone on the mothers side tried to collect her to go to the dentist (how convenient).

They refused but since the nursery have said they were in the wrong for not letting her go??? How is this possible if i have an order for that day? Admitedely this is an interim order and there are no times stated but they should be asking me shouldnt they?

A further barrier has been put up where my child is now miraculously being put on trips so that i cannot collect her until 6pm in the holidays? The nursery says her mother has signed a disclaimer to say they can take them when they want on trips and said they cant notify me because they are only schedules on the day. The nursery have shall we say an allegiance with the mother as she has a big bill shall we say!

I have been told that they are acting wrongfully and that i should contact ofsted....

Your thoughts please

I’d ask to speak face to face with the nursery manager, take the interim order and any details of days/times specific and ask them why they are helping a mother alienate a father from his child.

If they refuse ask for the details of their directors/governors if they are part of a corporation, things like that would tend to make them start to take notice of you.

If they continue to help the mother alienate you contact the court and explain the situation and see if you can get it back in front of the judge to show your ex is blocking/making contact difficult with these acts.

Thanks

I have spoken to her. The manager is also the company director. she doesnt want to know. Surely offsted should make her have to notify me if i ask. Even if they give a loose schedule they cant not just not tell parents can they?

I’ve never picked my kid up from nursery/school so I can’t really comment. However I would have thought they have to inform you of any trips in advance, I can’t see how they can just decide “on the day” they must have an idea they will be carrying out trips during the week…all trips I assume would be “weather permitting” but surely they’d have an idea of when they’d be doing trips.

I would have thought more so through the school holidays so that parents can make plans around them.
Again…may be worth getting in touch with the courts and as you say OFSTED / Local education authority may be worth a try too.

A solicitors letter might help, the mother is in breach of the interim contact order. If you don't want to use a solicitor then you can write her or her solicitor a formal letter reminding her of her obligations to facilitate contact.

If you get no joy it might be worth calling the court to explain that she is in breach and ask if the next hearing can be brought forward.

When my children were at nursery the nursery had a mini bus, So you would sign a general consent form that means they can take the child on trips any day any time etc. As the nursery own a mini bus its very easy for them to just take them on a field trip etc on the spur of the moment. The general consent form covers this.

Best thing is to contact solicitor to see if they can get the order modified or make arrangements with the mother to vary it.
