So, my DC has just started nursery in the last 3 months. She is just over 2. Sold as a lovely nursery, nurturing, child centered. An email was sent out yesterday to all parents advising that they have changed their 'policy' and as of January any child over 2.5 who is not potty trained will be excluded.
My understanding is that forcing a child to PT prematurely can be detrimental to them developmentally. Also my child is no where near PT therefore I will have to take out weeks or more from work until my child is reliably trained before I can send them back. When asked to clarify this, they confirmed that this was the new policy as they were wasting time changing nappies and couldn't meet every child's needs?! This is a setting that takes children 3 months to 5 years and is not attached to a school.
I get the fact the parent needs and should take responsibility for the PT of their child, but surely its not unreasonable to work with a nursery in respect of this - especially if your child is full time.
AIBU to be hacked off with this attitude fuck off we cant be arsed to wipe arses attitude and the new policy?
