Nursery teachers snarky comment

Contact the manager. Id be so upset! This is a horrendous attitude to have around your child!

Honestly I wouldn’t leave it that late to go anyway I usually know I’m running low on something or will run out that night before I leave.. or I’d sent my fella and he can be the ‘problem’ 🤣🤣

I don’t agree that giving nursery staff ten minutes to handover is last minute. But we are all different.

😢😢

They just about support it and I don’t work one of the days so I can pick him up whenever.

Well that’s me and I wouldn’t go anywhere 10 mins before the place shuts.

People used to come into the office at 17:28 (we shut at 17:30) when we had started to lock up. I couldn’t say at 17:30 after helping them for 2 minutes that we shut and they have to leave, I got out of work late so many times and that’s probably why I like to not leave things til the last minute ..including picking my kids up 🤣

10/10 idea thanks so much x

Poor kid. You should give him up for adoption or let him loose in the woods to be raised by wolves.

@CheekyTealFawn keep us updated with the response 👏

They are massively out of order if they have agreed to and charged you until 6.30pm

i think they’ve treated you and your daughter terribly, OP.

You took the days and times that suited them, not you. And now that doesn’t suit them either?

I would absolutely be sending an email stating that, as well as the details of exactly what happened, and asking for clarity on what times are being paid for. There’s been some good examples on here already. They’ve been really unprofessional and I’d be asking the manager who you cc in on the email you will be sending. Don’t let her talk you round. Just advise that you would like a few things confirmed in writing.

6.30 finish for a Friday is a red herring anyway. At least on the Friday, evenings are hopefully a little more relaxed once you get her home, than say getting home at that time twice midweek. Yes, it’s a long day for your DD, but I’m sure you wouldn’t do it if there was any other way.

FWIW, my DS and another little boy were always last two to be collected. Both of them always expressed their delight/disappointment depending on who was collected first as they loved that last bit of one on one time with the staff 🤣

Please stand up for yourself from the off. You’re doing your best and it is absolutely good enough.

I don’t think so. Some posters are completely against nurseries and will always give OP’s a hard time for using one even if they are working.

I think that if OP had said that she worked until 6 and couldn't get her dd before 6:20 she would have gotten different replies. The fact that she actually can get her dd early but chooses to use that time differently ; studying but could be faffing about farting for what it's worth. In the end she has paid for a service, in this case nursery, and she is allowed to pick her dd up at 6:25 in order to be out at 6:30.

@CheekyTealFawn I wouldn't leave my child with nursery workers who cared so little for her. Can you find another?

I'm 99.9% sure the OP can tell the time........

There're in the wrong, you would get a call at 6.30 not 10 minutes before very unprofessional

Ofcourse they are in the wrong. If pick up is up to 6.30 then they are contracted to at least 6.30. I am so sorry but this would make me suspicious about other practice at the Nursery and whether they are putting childrens needs first.

You’ve done nothing wrong and are an amazing example to your child by getting a degree. The nursery is in the wrong and should be providing child care until 6.30. End of. She should be played with and interacted with until then. Make a complaint to the management and don’t put up with their unprofessional behaviour.

Well your work must support that. Not everyone’s situations are the same. Some have different working hours or commutes. If you’ve paid for a service you can use that service.

of course you can pop to the shop before it closed! What’s the point in opening times if you can’t use them??

I worked in Tesco many years ago.

Yes of course people couldn’t start a big shop at ten minutes before closing but people could arrive at check out and still expect to be served right up to closing time.

We didn’t put our coats on or give customer attitude. Because even as a teenager working after school in understood I was paid to work until 9pm so I was expected to deal with customers until 9pm. I was also Maurice even to be professional and friendly.

@youknowthedance not even a pint of milk or something you’d ran out of and needed ? You’d rather just go without ?

OP I also think it’s out of order they called you twice - I would only expect a call if there was some emergency so that kind of thing causes parents to worry unnecessarily. Two missed calls can cause panic.

Some of these responses have made sad and depressed. Other women piling up on a hard working, committed and loving mother. @CheekyTealFawn I think you've handled yourself well on here against some spiteful comments. Now try doing the same against the nursery manager. She's out of order. Good luck with this and your studies. Just wanted to send you some love and 🫂 xxx

I posted earlier in support but have just jumped back on to say l have NO idea how you can be even bothered to reply to the meanest , judgemental people ! This is the most attacking post l’ve seen on here for a while - and that’s saying something . You’re a better woman than me that’s for sure . In the main, it seems like people agree that it was out of order and unprofessional …just ignore the preachers and perfect mothers ..stick with those who are compassionate and reasonable . Good luck whatever you decide to do. peace out ..

Gosh you leave him til half five? Poor sod.
