My DD just started Reception this week. She is very excited about it and can't wait to go every morning. DD has got a friend Daisy (not her real name) with whom she had a few playdates over the last 10 months or so. Daisy was going to the same Jersey as DD but in the afternoons only so she and DD have never been in a classroom together before, except for one time when they had a nursery trip.
Daisy's parents insisted that Daisy is put in the same class as DD at school to which I didn't object until the nursery trip. She was very disruptive, she didn't comply with anything and generally very hard to deal with.
We haven't met over the summer at all but I know from Daisy's mum that Daisy was really looking forward to starting school because her friend DD was going to be there in her class. Yesterday they had the first day together at school and my worst worries started materialising. DD reported that Daisy was very disruptive, was constantly calling her to go a d play with her at book reading time and the teachers had to intervine to make her leave DD alone. Today was the second day and DD reports that Daisy was 'very naughty' and she is bothering her all the time when they have to sit and listen to the teachers. Again the teachers had to 'tell her off'.
At the stay and play session on Mon I did voice my worries to both the teacher and TA.
Daisy's mum was texting me today that Daisy was very many and anxious about going to school today, they found it very hard to motivate her, of course she didn't like being told off all the time, she expected to go to school to have fun with DD.
How do I approach this? I know a SEN teacher from a different school who said schools are very good at identifying and dealing with potential SEN but I just feel sad that DD has this stress on her shoulders having just started school. Anyone can relate to this?
I believe the parents are in denial and have to clue about what's going on.
