My little boy just started at nursery school this week. We are not new to the nursery setting and have been at a private one for 2 years, but this is the first week at the nursery of a local school. The school is highly rated from what I can tell. All parents and local teachers speak highly of it, and all has been good so far in the usual nursery day. However when I went to collect him today from after school club I found them all sat on a mat watching disney cartoons. I asked if this was usual, and was told quite defensively that it was only on a friday, and it was just a little song.
Am I being naive or old fashioned to expect more than this at an after school club? If they're interested in music then why not encourage the children to play music, or to have a dance party. Not just sit there idly watching the screen.
It is also a very sunny day, and all other children were out in the school's beautiful gardens.
AIBU, or should we be expecting a bit more?
