Handovers at school instead of the doorstep

Posted by Anonymous parent

Doorstep changeovers were tense for us, so we switched to handovers at the school gate on a Friday. It has taken the heat out of it completely. Is anyone else doing school-based handovers, and how do you manage it in the holidays?

School handovers in term time, and a neutral spot like a supermarket car park in the holidays. Neither of us has to come to the other house.
