I'm not sure if I am being unreasonable or not, just wanted to gather some opinions really. Fully prepared to be told that IABU.
DS, 3.5yrs goes to nursery 3 days a week Mon-Wed. Once a year the whole nursery goes on a day out somewhere special. Last year it was a kiddies theme park kind of thing, this year it is Chester Zoo. They are going on a Thursday. Adults can accompant too.
I liked DS to go because he will enjoy it very much, especially with all his buddies from nursery (he has been going since he was 12 months, so they are like family to him). I gave them the money for his place about a week ago and they took it along with the filled in form.
Now they are saying that as Thursday isn't a nursery day for him, I would have to come along as well (nothing like this was mentioned in the letter). I would have maybe gone if it not for the fact I also have a DD, 21 months in the same nursery who is also not in nursery that day, and who I didn't put forward for the outing, as I think she is too little still for such a thing (it is a whole day thing, and she doesn't travel well at all).
Last year, they took DS without me for the day out, even though it wasn't a nursery day for him. So this seems to be a new policy?
I think nursery should be making this trip possible for all children that attend the nursery, and not "discriminate" (not sure of a better word) the children that are not attending on that specific day? Some of the children are part timers, others full timers, and as I understand this is a treat for everybody.
What do you think?
I'm temped to go along anyway with DD in tow (although will be a nightmare in a coach with her for an hour each way). But thought it odd of the nurseyr to do this, especially when they didnt do this last year. But new management though.
