Children can stay for school dinners whilst they are part time at dd new school or they can come home at 12. We decided Dd shouldn't stay for lunch as she's a fussy eater & sandwiches aren't an option until she's fulltime. However, she cried on her first day - so, teacher asked us if we would pay for school meals so she could stay. We were reluctant as she has never had a big appetite which I put down to her being premature. Dd has continually not eaten the school meals - everyday lunch time supervisor passes comment on the fact she has eaten very little or nothing at all. The teacher also continually talks to me (infront of numerous other parents) about this whilst in the line waiting to go in to school. Today her comment was 'Petitfleur says the dinner was too hot yesterday and wanted someone to blow it.' She turned to Dd and said 'you want special treatment don't you Petitfleur'. Of course Dd didn't understand & said teacher did this to get a laugh from other parents, which they did of course. I found this highly inappropriate & have told them on numerous occasions that Dd has a problem with food. I'm a nursery nurse and wouldn't have gotten away with this type of conduct if my manager heard - both in a confidentiality aspect and making fun of a child who has no concept of what was being said! Her old nursery was fantastic in understanding which enabled a relaxed feeling about food & she eventually was comfortable enough to try new things. I really felt that we were getting somewhere with her and I'm so upset it's being made an issue as this will eventually make her not want to go to school. no mention of how she's doing in the classroom I might add - just constant negative comments about meals instead!!!! It's her second week Fgs and she's just turned FOUR!
Sorry for the long post - didn't want to drip feed and I'm venting!
