It’s a lovely nursery and my DS really loves going there. He started there just last term. At the time of signing up, I told the nursery manager everything upfront - our house is on the market, we will be relocating if we sell etc. Their T&C says they need a term’s notice. At that point, the nursery manager said it’s just their standard contract but she will make an exception in our case and to let her know as soon as we find a buyer. I just trusted her word, I know it’s so stupid of me, I’m usually quite careful. I should have made her write it down!
I told the nursery yesterday that DS won’t be returning in September.
The nursery manager called me just now and accused me of not being honest etc! Then tried to tell me I signed the contract. I did. After a long discussion, she FINALLY admitted that we verbally agreed but went on to tell me she needs “some payment” because she runs a business, high quality setting etc. She threatened about going to a small claims court etc, but later finally agreed no further payment will be due if I don’t tell other parents about the exemption.
AIBU to think that I should get my ds out of the nursery today because I fell out with them? Aibu to think they will be mean to my son, treat him poorly or worse hurt him? The staff are absolutely lovely. EACH ONE OF THEM. The nursery manager was lovely too - until this point. I’m beginning to get really worried (for some strange reason). If they are mean to him, my little boy can’t even properly tell me. He is only 3. We’ve got only a month left before the nursery closes. Shall I just get him out now? I have a child minder who I can use, but i’ll be paying both childminder and the pre-school. That’s ok for mental peace I think.
Pls can someone calm me down? Did you ever fall out with a nursery/preschool/ childminder and still sent your child there? Was it ok? Like everyone else, i’m sending my child there based on trust. That’s now broken down.
