Nursery (bit long)

I took my dd out of private day nursery last year to attend a local school nursery for afternoons for her funded hours. We were told that the pdn would not offer wrap around care (ie. take her over to the school for the afternoons) even though I know that this was offered to a couple of children who did the same for morning sessions at school nursery. Fine I thought, I'll do the pick-ups and drop-offs myself as I was on mat leave at the time. Hard work with baby twins but i thought it was worth it as it is a great school.
I feel like the staff have been weird with me since then, particularly the manager who seems to have taken it personally that I've taken her elsewhere (even though I do think a lot of their care and that's why I left her in for the mornings)

Fast forward a year and now my twins are attending the same pdn. I still feel the staff are weird with me, I'm questioning my choice now sending the twins there Hmm. Obviously it's costing me an arm and a leg and I'm basically working for a pittance if anything.

I've been off work twice recently, still putting the twins into nursery because I need time to get my house in order, literally.

Both times the staff were aware I had the day off and both times they have called me to pick up one of the twins due to "illness". In my opinion their symptoms were over exaggerated, ie "she seems run down" yet baby laughing and running about. No mention of needing to give calpol. She had a fairly unconcerning rash but no temp. I felt really embarrassed taking her to the docs and he was quite Hmm about it too. The other occasion was a similar story.

Am I being irrational/unreasonable to start thinking about changing nurserys? I dont want to put them through the upheaval if im being oversensitive and this is just standard behaviour from nurserys? They were never like this in previous years though?

Change nursery.
It doesn’t matter if it’s your perception or not, it isn’t working out anymore.
Find somewhere new!
