I would just tell her that you are no longer able to provide care for her child after X date. If you want to give a reason you could just say you are not able to provide the care and attention she needs and leave it at that. You aren't required to expand on your reason. You aren't even required to give a reason at all.
NOW!
I also wouldn't worry about the other family. I have MANY friends/families enrolled and termed several people who referred others. The other party never left care.
Keep it professional "Child is no longer in attendance."
don't get into details. Most likely the other parents are already aware.
