Having slight second thoughts over this. Daughter started reception a few weeks ago, a few little niggles here and there but I'm sure I'm just being PFB. She came out really upset today and it turns out she smuggled a toy in this morning and couldn't find it. Par for the course I thought. I'll mention tomorrow but I know they aren't supposed to have their own toys. Anyway, my DD was chatting to another child out of earshot. She then says "child has my toy! They've taken it!" Said child runs off out of the gates with parent. My DD is very upset and tells me she put the toy in her bag and when she went to get it at pick up it was gone, then this child has it and has gone home with it. It's a very specific toy that would be impossible to have one the same. It's the fact this child has gone in her bag, I get completely that children of this age will take things occasionally. At this point my DD was bawling so I have taken her back to class to ask the teacher to investigate tomorrow. I don't know what I could have done differently but as my DD has named the child immediately it just felt a bit awkward, WIBU?

Not really the teacher's job to investigate and I'd expect the child to deny it, but gair enough for trying. You have to hope the child's parent spots it and returns it. Good lesson for your DD to follow the school rule - it's their for a reason, and maybe check her bookbag in the mornings in case she tries taking anything else in.

Have reiterated the school rule tonight, I think she forgot she had it and put it in her bag to keep it safe. Thanks!
