Advice needed please - problems with nursery.

[MOIEMA]

Hi guys, please desperately need advice on the way forward. I kept my baby in nursery at 5months as I needed to return back to work as a single mother having not earned an income in 7.5months. My baby was sleeping through the night at 8 weeks but all this stopped once she started nursery.
But my main concern was that she just wasn't sleeping during the day while at nursery, she would sleep for 20min 2/3times instead of 1.5hrs (2 times) at home. During the weekends she would sleep for hours during the day and all night. She was at nursery 4 days a week.
One morning I dropped her off and a little girl told me that the baby is always crying, but I asked staff how she was and this wasn't mentioned to me.

I decided at week 3 that she needs to be at home and told nursery I would be withdrawing her immediately as babies grow when they sleep and mine isn't getting enough sleep. I was told I would need to pay the 6 weeks notice period whether I bring her there or not. There was no concern made at all towards her well-being. I know I made a mistake taken her there at such a young age now I don't know what to do. Any suggestions please.

Oh excellent, OP has PM’d me too 😂

“FUCK YOU”

Seriously? Because I explained how baby sleep isn’t linear and that if you signed a contract you need to adhere to it?

Hmm. I doubt OP will be back somehow!

Almost feeling left out.

Ooh here are mine

@Skinnermarink mine is quite tame in comparison 😂

Maybe we can blame it on lack of sleep, seeing as her baby isn't sleeping properly 😆

HQ can’t not ban for that it’s ridiculous 🤣

I don’t buy a single thing the OP has said anyway, unless the nursery is attached to a secure unit.

Mine seem tame compared to yours too

I haven't had any pms ah well.

Realised reading this thread I've basically had years of broken sleep - what does that mean I can get away with?!

I thought I was the one who initially irritated her, mentioning that most 8 week olds would wake up at night, thus going off topic in her POV.

I didn't even get a PM :(

Hello everyone and thanks for the reports about those PMs. We have dealt with the OP and sent them on their way. We are in the process of deleting the offending PMs.
Best wishes,
MNHQ

Yet the dog comment still stands 😩🤣

‘Sent them on their way’

That better be a ban and not a week’s naughty step HQ!

Sorry but this thread has given me the chuckle I needed today 😂😂

I'm so sorry but that is hilarious 🤣 and it really shouldn't be

You're a medical miracle 😆

Does explain why I sometimes feel an urge to bark and lunge at passerby every now and then.

Op reminds me of this guy -

I'm supposed to be working but this is too funny.

I post on a lot of nursery threads but never has one felt so rewarding.

😂😂😂

I don't know how someone can even think about trying to diddle their way out of paying the notice period - unless there was a very good reason, like a specific incident or something. All said and done, nurseries need that money to pay their staff, many of whom are on minimum wage, and work their arses off. Can't say I'd fancy working 11 hours a day with a 30 minute break. And a lot are parents too. I can empathise with how hard it is leaving your baby with someone else - I've had to do it twice. But to just expect to wheedle your way out with immediate effect. If everyone did that they'd be laying staff off every month. Next time you sign a contract, make sure you read it and are happy with it first. 6 weeks is a long time but you agreed to it.

Sleeping through the night at 8 weeks sounds very unusual - mines were over 2 years before they did that. My taller dd (they are adults) napped badly too.

@MOIEMA
Please focus??? 🤣🤣🤣

maybe you need to try and focus and read the answers people are giving you! If the notice period us 6 weeks, then YES, you will have to pay it. You’ve broken the contract, pay up and stop whining.

I’m sure it’s been sorted now
