Parents say a 'tenner for childcare is a bargain' after primary school announces charges for late pick-up
Parents have reacted to a school's attempt to stop mums and dads being late for pick-up by issuing fines.
But other parents have now been having their say - and some of them have mocked the school, saying teachers may well have 'shot themselves in the foot' by offering such 'good value childcare'. Hundreds of readers have responded to the school's plan on the Manchester Evening News Facebook page, where many gave their support to headteacher Kelly Macadam who told us she would 'only consider charging parents who are persistently and repeatedly late'.
"I used to work in private nurseries and the amount of times parents are late is ridiculous," said Stephanie Swann. "Before I drove I had to rely on public transport and if I missed my bus due to parents being late then I’d be waiting an extra 30 minutes for a bus home and not get home until 7.30pm or later.
