Nursery withholding DS drink

My toddler (new to nursery) has been returning home with a full drink cup, as in - not being given his juice.

It is sugar free and heavily diluted so it's not unhealthy.

After doing some reading online it appears that alot of nurseries have a blanket rule of 'no juice' but this hasn't been communicated with me.

My problem is that he is a restricted eater/drinker due to having additional needs and I'm concerned he's not getting sufficient fluids. He may take a sip of water if he's totally parched, if they're lucky, but he certainly won't take in enough. When he gets home he screams and shouts for juice because he's overly thirsty.

AIBU to tell them to let him have the juice I'm sending him in with?

Last week, I received a notice that my son is not allowed to have any Qourdio juice mixed with his water. I explained that this is apple Qourdio juice and that my son won't drink plain water. When he came home, he was very upset and screaming. I believe their actions are selfish, and I plan to escalate this complaint further.

Can I suggest you start a new thread for this, @Rosevioleta, rather than resurrecting an old, zombie thread.
