Fairly sure I'm not. KFC in nursery school

Namechanged as talking about my employer and is identifiable.

We live abroad, I work in a school. DD is 3 and goes to the nursery school in my school.

Every week or two there is some kind of celebration - most parents are loaded, and whenever it is a birthday or something, they bring in treats. Often cakes, and buffet-type stuff. Usually party bags filled with sweets. A few times they have had a pizza or KFC delivery.

We've been relaxed about it - not ideal but I know the teacher isn't overly impressed either, tricky for her to say anything.

Today was her birthday, and the TA organised KFC and sweets in party bags as a surprise 'treat'. I think it's one thing parents doing this, but the school ordering KFC for 3 and 4 year olds when their parents have prepared lunch is not quite right.

What does Mumsnet think?

Nurseries and schools are presumably very aware of their children's allergies and intolerances and wouldn't give them foods that they can't eat.

In my experience (child with nut allergy), fast food outlets are great at providing allergy information. DS felt (and still does feel) safer eating in McDonalds than anywhere else.

All my children have survived far worse than KFC which at least uses real (yes real) chicken pieces. And tastes bloody lovely.

Woooooooah, Theo, the op said she had been fairly relaxed about it happening, but that the school ordering it was a step too far. This seems like a pretty reasonable point of view to me. You're the one coming across as slightly unhinged.
