Not the first time I've had food issues with the nursery... they're great and a lovely bunch of ladies, barely any staff turnover.. Dd age 3 has had the same key worker since she was 8mo
However they feed the kids utter shit some days. I've raised it and been told that it's a "treat" however they have these treats every day (chocolate biscuits, icecream, cake etc) and now the chocolate chip weetabix being out on the table every day is starting to take the pee a little.
She goes 4 full days so cant exactly avoid it...
Aibu to complain (again) or do I just suck it up and accept it

As a parent old enough to be a grandparent, the treat thing has annoyed me at all sorts of childcare situations, sports teams, scouts/guides, etc, etc.

I don't need you guys to give them treats. If there are treats to be had, I want to give them and chocolate chip weetabix are a crap 'treat' IMO, I'd be handing out actual biscuits or sweets.

But if everywhere (including school sometimes back in the day) gives them a little treat every time they get together or when they've done well at something, by the time we are home, they've already had all the sweets they should for the day, and I will end up eating all the biscuits myself. It's just not on.

that being said, it sounds like whoever is in charge of their menus and shopping have lost the plot. surely there are guidelines they ought to be following. a treat is one thing, but it sounds like they aren't actually tracking the treats.

why don't you keep notes for a few weeks and compare that to the published menu and discuss that with the head? Perhaps they aren't aware of how far off the track their employees have gotten.
