To expect the school to inform me when they send my daughter's new teacher to nursery to visit her?

[Pealicious]

I couldn't believe it when I collected my daughter from nursery yesterday only to find that the teacher who will be taking her in Foundation in September came to visit her yesterday. I called the school who said that its standard practice and appropriate but that they will look to review their practise in future. I haven't received a single piece of communication from the school in terms of who my daughter's teacher will be, no welcome letter, no meet the teacher date for me, nothing. Grrrrr. AIBU?

Why are you cross about it?

Agree with Neddle - why are you cross?

YABU not to explain exactly why it's pissed you off so much.

I would have expected the nursery (rather than school) to say that in the planned activities for the week were visits from teachers from the local school....

But I wouldn't be really annoyed if they didn't - not sure why you seem so annoyed??

I don't get the problem here?

I think it's a lovely thing to do. It means the children know the teacher before the first day - it will make starting school less scary.

they have all sorts of people in to talk to the kids - are you upset because she found out her teacher before you....

What? Like everyone else I am confused...

The nursery has done something good for your daughter, it is far easier to meet someone new in familiar surroundings with the rest of your friends than go to a strange place with loads of new kids too. I honestly don't understand your concern...

Don't really understand what your issue is?

Especially if the school and nursery are attached.

Dd went to a nursery which was part of a primary school and the would go in for assembly sometimes, go to seasonal productions and all sorts of things.

I thought it was great.

And the problem with this is?

why what eh you sound outraged and I am not sure what about teachers will visit nurseries before school starts it is the norm for some places again why are you so angry about nothing

and she was visiting the other nearly school children too not just your daughter

It's going to be some loooooong years (for the teachers) if you're going to start out like this.

School are going to love you...

I guess my issue is that had I known ahead of time I could have discussed it wiht my daughter and prepared her for it. I don't think it's acceptable that the school are sending out the teachers to meet the future intake without informing the parents. I don't even know the teacher's name.

Uh?

Sounds lovely.

When my PFB started school, his teacher was new to the school/area & went to everyone's house to introduce himself.

I didn't think that that was odd.

As an ex nursery worker...i think you are being very unreasonable....appts like this cannot be timetabled to a time...they are at a when can do basis as dont forget they have their class to look after...not forgetting visiting other nurseries of their future pupils..,meet and greet letters...never heard of that before lol x

that is what I thought midnite oh dear if a visit from a teacher gets the op cross then dearie me ,

Blimey...

By the way the nursery is not attached to the school, and there are no other kids going to the same school as my LO. I think the visit is a great idea - really nice for my DD to meet her teacher, but a simple letter letting me know would have made all the difference.

,meet and greet letters...never heard of that before lol x

do they even exist when i enrolled mine in school that was it until they started although teachers would go into nursery and I am sure we had a school visit but to meet all the infant teachers and class rooms

Our pre-school did this too, the parents aren't involved. It's a great idea to let the kids meet their new teacher in familiar surroundings.

I really don't see what the issue is ...
