Withdrawing from nursery

Hi, grateful for any advice on possibly taking DS3 out of his new nursery. We moved to a new area two weeks ago, away from his truly wonderful old setting. He’s had a few settling in sessions at the new nursery, and something feels wrong. He’s crying whenever he goes in, tells me the staff don’t listen to him, and doesn’t know the names of any of the other children. I am happy to put some of this down to normal settling in nerves, but I am also very concerned he doesn’t have a key worker assigned. When I asked about this, they said he would in the first 6 weeks. I now understand this to be against EYFS guidelines. Incidentally, I’ve been looking through previous ofsted reports and this was mentioned as a failing on one a couple of years ago. I’m strongly considering pulling him out, as my gut says this isn’t the place for him. My question is - with this key worker breach especially, would we be liable to pay any notice period in the contact does anyone know? Very open to any other advice as well - and I will be raising this with the nursery at the end of this week to see what they say.

If your gut tells you there is something wrong with the Nursery, then by all means look for care elsewhere, but I don't think you'd get very far in getting out of paying what your contract determines, because they are waiting to see who he 'takes to' before naming a KW, or potentially because they are recruiting, or have been left in the lurch by someone suddenly going off sick or with a bereavement or an accident or whatever reason it might be.
