I’d just like some advice and how you would feel. It was my sons first day at nursery today and I’m feeling quite upset about what happened. I take him to what’s considered a really good nursery in my area, so I thought I’d have the confidence for him to go there and the staff to look after him. They have an online parent zone app where they update what your baby gets up to. The very first thing they posted was what meal he had for lunch and next to it they wrote “ate nothing”. LO has a v big appetite so I called them straight away as I was worried and they said they’d try again later. They didn’t update me, but they posted other stuff they gave him eg “crackers and cucumber”. I don’t think this is enough for a baby that is there from 9am - 5.30pm.. and LO eats mushy food like spaghetti bol or Shepard’s pie, fish pie, easy chewable food. he can’t eat crunchy food like crackers and cucumber he just spits it out. it really annoyed me that they wrote “ate nothing” as surely they’d want to reassure the parents of their child’s first day at nursery and when I saw that it worried me. I’ve been told by other mums their nursery update everyday so much stuff and also pictures of them and what they get up to. But they just sent me a picture of some books on a table, and some toys laid out without LO??. So I don’t even know what he did. the whole day I was thinking irrationally “they haven’t posted anything bcos that means he’s constantly crying so they don’t want to show me”. When I picked him up and asked how his first day was they didn’t explain anything and said “some times he was sad, sometimes he was happy”. Nursery fees are ridiculously expensive and Im not sure if I’m expecting too much but would you be ok with this? It just worried me how dehydrated he was and that he ate barely nothing throughout the day and had a big dinner when he got back home as he was obviously hungry...
