My daughter is 20 months and in the baby room at nursery 2 days a week. Her room senior was talking to us on Friday saying that she felt our daughter was ready for the 2 yr olds room but she couldn't actually go up until September when she turns two.
I've felt for a while that she wasn't being stimulated in the baby room. She's the only one that can talk and she wants to play with other children not just alongside them. She's getting into mischief by trying to get into the places she's not allowed, which is what she does when she's not stimulated enough at home and I'm worried it will have a negative effect on her if we keep her back for another 4 months.
Its an expensive nursery and she loves going but she doesn't have "peers" as such as the other children are so much younger than her and her age peers aren't as developed as she is. I sent her to nursery to teach her to socialise with other children but all she is doing is "helping" the nursery nurses, which defeats the purpose.
I know about ratio's of staff to kids based on age and I wondered if this could be a legit reason for not moving her into a room more appropriate for her development level. Does anyone know if there is legislation that states they cannot move her up before she turns two?
I'd hate to think of her being lonely or bored and she's desperate to play on the big playbus in the garden which she can't do until she's in the 2's room. She gets left on the decking with the babies to look at the other kids playing.
