To want to know if nursery manager was fired?

My son has been at nursery since April this year, and since then there has been a very high staff turnover (4/5 staff from his room and 2 managers have left & there’s a lot of agency staff from unfilled roles). We’ve just been told that the manager has left the job this week, and that “due to unforeseen circumstances cannot work out her notice period”. That’s all the information we’ve been given. When other staff have left there’s been a note about wishing them well etc, but nothing said about this. I checked with staff in my son’s room today and they said they were just told the same, no details etc.

AIBU to want to know if the manager was sacked, and if so, what for? I’m concerned that most sackable offences would be related to the well-being and safety of the children at the nursery, and I would want to know if this has been compromised.

Or should I just keep out of it??

It’s a private nursery and the fees are extortionate...so I feel like we should be getting a good service.

Why not ask to sit in on staff appraisals while you're at itShock

I undrestand your concern re if anything has happened but, as PPs have pointed out, You would have been informed had anything happened, or suspected of happened, to your child.

This was mooted by a parent governor at a school I worked at (that she should sit in on performance appraisal reviews). The Headteacher managed to tell her to fuck right off in more polite and professional terms than I think I could have come up with on the spot 😂😂 Why people think they are entitled to personal information about others I will never know

Slight derail, but governors carry out the HT's performance review. So they do more than sit in. Only the HT though not the rest of the staff.

I know, Grumpy, but it would usually be the CoG and maybe other other community/co-opted/LA govs for the Head, certainly not parent govs. And this woman was definitely after sitting in on everyone's!
