DS goes to nursery 3 afternoons a week.
He's been at the same nursery for 18 months now and has always enjoyed it.
About 3 weeks ago he moved up to the next class (he has just turned 3) and hasnt been enjoying it as much since.
He is more clingy when I drop him off and is constantly telling me he doesnt like nursery.
Last week I handed in his notice as I have got him a place at a pre-school nearby which I think he will enjoy more.
Today when dropped him off he was sobbing when I left him.
When I collected him he was crying again. One of the members of staff told me he was crying becuase he'd been told off. Ds told me through his tears that he was crying because he'd fallen over and had hurt his foot.
His key worker told me he had been 'very naughty' today and that he had spat in somene's face
I really cant believe he did that (they didnt actually see him do it. the other boy said he did it and DS agreed and said sorry). Ds has never even seen anyone spit before let alone d it himself. I just cant believe he did it. I know that he got told off for it and had time out.
I've just lost total confidence in the place now. I dont want to send him back. He's not enjoying it and if he did spit, then he's picking up terrible habits!!
What do you think my chances are of them allowing him to leave earlier than his notice without me having to pay the full amount?
I'm thinking of calling them tmorrow morning and asking them to consider it and explaining why.
If they dont agree then I am going to ask to book the next 3 weeks as holiday and just pay half price for it as if it was a holiday.
Am I overreacting? What would you do?
