dd2 has a place at the same nursery as her big sister, we've been paying since 1st Sept to secure the place even though I don't go back to work til December. She has started her settling in sessions now, and her key worker suggested doing little and often (they initially said 2 hours one week, 2 hours the next). So last week I said to the bookings lady I'd just like to let them know that she will be in on Mon Weds and Fri first thing in the morning to get used to daddy doing drop offs. Lady says Oh we can't do weds, not enough staff.
Now aibu to think that if she's on the roll, and we're paying for her place, they blimming well should have enough staff that I can drop her in whenever I like? I could understand if she was not yet on the roll and they needed to find extra people to cover while she was in the room, but she is one of the 12 on the list, surely they should have enough staff available for the max number of kids who might be in (allowing for if any kids are already booked off)? I don't see why I should have to give them a week's notice to find the right number of staff, what happens if someone is sick? They can't just turn away kids 9-12 to arrive because ratios won't be right, isn't it their job to ensure they have enough people on site?
