I'm just after your points of view, really. ds1, who has AS,started at his new nursery in August. After having a horrific experience at his previous nursery (which lead to him being taken out and staying at home with my other dcs for 8 months), I was, and still am really, convinced that this place is fantastic for him.
It's an inclusional nursery with smaller groups and one additional teacher; they have OT, speech thery, physio and psycologists on site, SN children are obviously well catered for.
It started off well, surprisingly ds1 was able to stay the full day straight away. He then had a couple of weeks where he didnt want to go, saying it was "too much fun". But for the past 2 weeks it's been ok again.
Now..this morning he didnt want to go, but I did eventually managed to get him on the bus and he was fine. This afternoon, playing in the garden, he said to me, completely out of the blue "I dont like nursery" I asked him why and he said "i always have to do time out, sit on the bench with the others holding me down"
I dont know why I was quite shocked to hear this and why I am a bit upset. I know he just does not accept time out, doesnt at home either. If I want to go through with time out, I would have to physically hold him down too...but I am his mum...
How would you feel when your dc told you about people at their nursery physically restarined them in order to enforce time out?
