Behaviour at Nursery

5 replies

DS is about to go up to the "big" over 3's nursery. He is a typical lively boy. The nursery has a very broad mix of children and a larger than average number of children with behaviour SEN problems as it is attached to childrens services. I think its a good nursery and are generally happy with it. However a few things are worrying me and making me consider moving him to a smaller nursery in preporation for school.

On his visits to big nursery he has been bitten (it happens, no big deal), been a bit upset on occasions (very out of character), said he doesn't like the big boys but the big girls are nice! His keyworker make a joke type comment today saying that when he visited big nursery in quiet group time today he was the only one doing as he was told, she giggled when she said it..... so not sure how true this was.....

AIBU to be a bit worried? They are only 3 and 4 and should be lively and energetic but I would like to think they were getting the idea to behave well and listen to there teachers. AIBU??

it doesn't sound like he's had time to settle in yet... leave it a bit and see how he is.

I'd agree he needs more time to settle in.

You could give it a set time for him to settle, and then if he does not raise your issues with his keyworker to see if they can be of any help. If he still isn't happy you could consider moving him then.

My DS has been at nursery for 2 months, at first he cried every day when we left to go there, even if he had been looking forward to going earlier in the day. He loves it now and gets upset during holidays and in-service days because he can't go!

The trouble is if behaviour isn't good in the nursery (for whatever reason) the teacher isn't going to tell me that and without being there you don't really know do you? Ah!!

turn up for drop off a bit late one day and another day a bit early for collection... you might get a more accurate vibe. speak to the other parents also.
