Hello
Have just started looking into pre-school options for dd. Went to see a place today and my general impression was really positive. But one thing bothered me. When I arrived I noticed that in one corner of the room the TV was on and that about half the kids were watching it.
I asked the main nursery worker what the TV was 'used for', thinking that maybe it was some sort of DVD designed for early learning, but she got really defensive and just said quickly, 'It's only on for 10-15 minutes in between activities'.
To be fair, they did switch it off after a short while and embarked on a seed planting activity but I couldn't help thinking it was quite weird.
I left wondering just how long it's REALLY on for, IYSWIM.
Does anyone know if this is common? Am I just being paranoid?
I'm quite strict about restricting access to TV at home and it seems a bit annoying that my hard work would be undone at nursery.
Thanks for all advice...
