[bubbsie1]

Ouch BB & Scarlet Pimpernel

 

slightly misogyanistic there!! surely its' all because of a belligerent member of staff/non-practising solicitor (who just happens to e female amongst other things) .

[Bazooka Boo]

misogyanistic had to look that up!

[bubbsie1]

Morning BB

 

haha perhaps if I had looked it up I might have been able to spell it properly; slightly sensitive this morning, only one cup of coffee so far, perhaps I'll have another cup then read it again!!

Donkey don't bother with an LLB I have one and I could think of much better ways to spend your tiime!!

 

Hmmmmm I have an LL.B and an LL.M; Not done me much good either.

[Robotix]

Thank you so much, I have not had such a long laugh for years. I love the ending, bithard to read when I was crying with laughter.

 

Dear miss knickers in a twist.

 

Thank you for your lengthy explanation regarding your use of 'non practicing solicitor' I will gladly forward a copy of your letter to the authority who IS dealing with their investigation, for the avoidance of doubt, there is NO alleged body.

 

I was clearly confused by your previous correspondence as you had signed off with "Business Manager - Non Practicing Solicitor" I feel that if you are not their legal advisor then there is no requirement to mislead people in believing you are somehow acting in that capacity. (But if it makes you feel better, knock yourself out!)

 

I will remind you that Miss H was not working at the nursery in December, the last time she worked at the nursery was late September early October before going on sick leave, and then resigning. So in answer to your question, it was clearly the Acting Manager with whom I spoke with, on a weekly basis.

 

I look forward to your prompt response, with a mutually beneficial end to this protracted disagreement.

 

Yours sincerely,

Hi JB

 

entirely agree with Bazooka Boo diarise the phone call/s from the nursery proprietor and note any further calls from her taking care to include date, time, what said etc.

 

As for not writing the letter yourself so what? if you had taken professional help they would have taken your instructions and written one on your behalf; she should be more concerned about the contents of the letter as opossed to who had written it!!

 

Will work on something tomorrow ready for you to tweak/combine with the other suggestions on the thread.

 

You have dealt with those bullies very effectively so far so don't let them unsettle you at this stage, you are almost on the home straight now.

Possibly, but why not take the opportunity to annoy her as gratuitously as she chucks her silly title about?

Off to do the bidding of his female Commanding Officer before the weekly phone call to the lovely Mrs SP.

Hi JB

 

maybe something along these lines will do:

 

Dear W.I.T.C.H

 

Formal Notice of Withdrawal

 

Further to your telephone call on the xxxxxxx please note after consulting with xxx County Council I shall be withdrawing my daughter xxxx xxxxx from your nursery with immediate effect at their recommendation.

 

During the call you made a numer of comments which were inaccurate, derogatory,insulting and judgemental; on that basis it is clear that any direct contact with you or your staff by phone or in person is no longer viable; therefore any further communication must be in writing.

 

As proprieter is is not acceptable for you to claim you have not been involved in this matter as the owner/proprieter of the nursery you have a vicarious/employers responsibility to ensure your staff adhere to acceptable standards of behaviour and act appropriately at all times.

 

As stated I am not responsile for any debt owed to your establishment and will not be held liable; to allow a member of your staff to threaten a parent with legal action and possible financial penalties without reference to you (since you claim no invlovement in the matter before your call on xxxxxxx) is not the action of a responsible employer.

 

Since my daughter will not be attending your nursery I trust there is no need for any further contact between us and will treat this sorry matter as at an end; should anymore attempts be made to intimidate, bully or harass me these will be forwarded directly to ofsted and xxxxxx County Council.

 

yours faithfully

 

Again JB I am not an expert in these matters, however, I think this letter is along the right lines. Feel free to tweak as you want.

 

If you feel I have been of any assistance feel free to click on my star at the bottom of the message.

 

Good luck and keep me posted.

Thanks so much for that bubbsie and all you other kind people who have contributed on this upsetting matter and given me the much needed help and support.

 

Bubbsie, I cannot see a star at the bottom of your post for me to tick. Please sign post me to it lol

 

I will update everyone on the outcome.

[bubbsie1]

Just next to the symbol at the bottom of the actual reply section between the symol which says' promote to an article' and the warning triangle not an obvious looking star JB granted

[bubbsie1]

Forgot to say just hand the letter in, doesn't matter who hands it in, no need for conversation at all.

[joeblogs]

Found it now Bubbsie, for some reason it wasnt showing until I refreshed the thread. Thanks so much.

[Bazooka Boo]

Staple it to her head!

[bubbsie1]

ooh no don't....tempting as it may sound that would be an assault, possibly a S,20 wounding and Bazooka Boo may get done for incitement/conspiracy.......lol...BB you are terrible but it did make me larf.......

Hello Everyone

 

Just to let you all know I hand delivered the letter today. I went in and said is the proprietor here, a worker said yes what do you want her for, I said I want to give her a letter, he then said well she's not here, the acting manager is here, so I said Mr X please give this letter to the proprietor and then left.

 

The good news is my daughter has got a place at another nursery which provides free meals as part of their curriculum!!

 

I am going to make complaints to the Council and Ofsted.

 

Anyway, thanks to you all and I will keep you updated as and when I hear anything.

 

JB

[Bazooka Boo]

Excellent, lets just hope this non practicing solicitor regrets ever having rattled your cage..

[bubbsie1]

Hi JB

 

well done, lets wait for her response. Most of our family/friends that have children at nursery funded by the local authority do not have to pay for school meals? How appropriate they would be an exception to that rule, tight fisted so and so's

[joeblogs]

Hello again

 

I have just emailed with all attachments and scanned letters:- Council, Ofsted and S.R.A.

 

So hopefully now something will be done about this dreadful nursery and its staff/proprietor.

 

Thanks to you all for all your help, advice and support. I will post all responses as and when I receive them.

Oh how funny that when u ask if the boss is in she is there but when u ask to see them they are not.

[bubbsie1]

Indicative of how bullies operate GM, particularly so when their 'victims' come out fighting!!

[joeblogs]

Hi Everyone

 

Sent all complaints by email attachment last night, so far had a reply from Ofsted who have said that contractual issues are not within their remit, so they are not interested.

 

Had a reply from one of the Council's (2 Councils come under this Nursery strangely enough, one for funding, the other as their service provider), the service provider Council bounced it off and said complain to Ofsted,

 

I replied and said as the Nursery is a service provider under your Council, I hope you will investigate.

Not heard anything since.

 

The funding Council were great last week and they were the ones who advised me to move my daughter, not heard anything from them yet. So thats the update so far, as expected, DELEGATION (or DILLIGAF!!!!!)

Buck passing!!

[DonkeyB]

Contractual issues? It’s not a contractual issue. It’s about a thinly-veiled threat from a member of staff using their non-occupation as an inactive solicitor to intimidate a service user!

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

Is a no practicing some one like me who has a law degree but uses it for non litigation purposes I have often wondered since the start

of this thread I have though never practiced as a solicitor?

[Bazooka Boo]

Local MP then IMO, get them to get the council to earn the money you pay them, and stop passing the buck.
