DC has just turned 3 and the nursery is sending home reading books and a newsletter to fill in! Am I being really grumpy or is this homework for parents a bit much, frankly?
I am very happy to read to my child but if parents pay a grand a month at the nursery is it really not normal for them to also have e.g. a copy of "Peace at last" at home? The thing that really bugs me is the written newsletter homework, clearly parents have to fill this in so what is the point?
It is not a true pre-school in my opinion, as there is no qualified teacher, it is childcare so is this really necessary? I feel like it is the nursery trying to pretend to be posher than it is, they can't even spell properly in their own newsletter for goodness' sake. I feel I pay them to reduce my administrative hassle and be nice to my child, not to give me extra admin and things to feel guilty about.
Someone please tell me that Ofsted require this sort of thing and then I will not feel like it is the nursery doing it to wind me up.
