Pissed at ds teacher

Hi,
My ds (who is 3 amd August born) is in school nursery. He has taken months to settle in, 2 months ago i booked an appointment with his teacher as he seems to be developmentally behind. It was agreed that it would probably be in his best interests to repeat nursery next year and she would provide a letter of support for the council. Just a couple of sentences needed.
The letter never came, i did remind her after a couple of weeks but still nothing. I am still upset. AIBU ? As the gaps widens between the children and ds it is important that he is delayed but i am now on my own. According to her she is an expert at this and knew what to do. I have never asked for anything before as i do realise how busy they are.
Parents evening is coming up and i don't want to go. I haven't seen her since before Christmas but i cant avoid her now or can i? Am i beind an idiot as i cant seem to get passed this

Surely if he is two now and not 3 until August then he won’t be starting reception until September 2020? My DD is three in May and she will going to school nursery in September 2019 and school the following year.

Has your HV done his 2 year check yet?

Sorry just realised I missed read that!

But what happened at 2 year check? Does the nursery teacher think he is behind? Surely if you are worried about his developmental then you need to speak to his teacher more often not less often.

" I am just disappointed that something which is so important to my son was never completed "

YABU. The only person to be disappointed in is yourself. you should have checked whether it had been done and checked on the progress. It's not about confrontation / avoiding confrontation, it's about doing your parental duty to ensure your child gets what they need. The teacher has a lot on her plate & other responsibilities and she may have appreciated a reminder. This is on you as the parent unfortunately.
