Help please!
I have one DD who has just started nursery and I'm feeling very unsure. I'd like to know if we're being a bit PFB or whether the nursery is being a bit substandard.
DD is 11 months old for reference and this is her third week at nursery.
We've had a few issues with naps etc, but we've spoken to them and they are mostly resolved. I have two other major concerns -
- Security: access to the nursery is via a bell/door. Normally the receptionist lets you in and then you go to collect your child. There is no sign out process. At all. They just visually check you're someone they recognise. The nursery uses an app and this is nearly always inaccurate re pick up - for example, today, my daughter was signed out of nursery nearly two hours after I collected her (and 20 mins after it closed). Additionally today, the receptionist was on the phone and a mother mum just let me in. She never even saw me! I waved at her to get her attention so she knew I was there. Surely, that can't be good?
- DD is a bad eater. Slooooooooow. And finger foods only. But she will eat if given a chance. The food isn't very 'friendly' for her, lots of things that are spoon fed (which she just refuses!!) and no real finger foods. So she's basically not eating all day. Mostly she just eats the puddings or fruit. By the end of the day she is starving, miserable and upset. I've spoken to them and asked if they could try to encourage her but it's not really improved. Today she ate weetabix, jelly and pineapple slices. In about 11 hours. Should they/we be doing something different? Advice please!
Thank you all
