His last nursery was amazing, unfortunately just got too expensive and now he’s older I thought a community nursery attached to a pre school would be better and help him become independent. he’s 3.5. They were OFSTED rated good 5 years ago. 25 kids in one room, so much like reception. He goes 3 hours a morning
he’s been there over a week now, was wearing pants last week but had an accident (weed himself) every day which is odd for him as he never has accidents anymore. On tapestry there’s an image of him playing with the other kids and his clothes are soaked.
ive put him in nappy pants this week and told them because I was worried about him sitting there soaked, I’ve picked him up and his nappy is full of poo.
0 communication from the nursery, they point to the parents at pick up time. Kids have to walk in themselves.
His water bottle has remained untouched everyday and left or put in his bag. As soon as I pick him up he asks for a drink so I get it out his bag.
Picked him up today and It’s pissing it down and his coat was left in his bag.
The main thing is communication though, he’s just had his first week and they can’t even come out and talk to me and let me know how he got on
AIBU?

@deedledeedledum no they will help the children change their clothes and clean themselves up - they don't leave them !!
When my daughter was in Nursery Class and Reception everyone was expected to have a spare pair of clothes (usually just undies and trackie bottoms) in case of accidents and there was a constant supply of spare pants (and sometimes tights) available.

I just don’t understand how some parents are ok with only knowing once a week what their child’s been doing? Is it because I’m a first time parent?

Last year of nursery, especially if at a preschool, is essentially prep for school where you definitely won’t be getting those sort of updates so I always thought of it as a gradual transition. Also at 3+ and presuming no SEN they can tell you a lot themselves, and can definitely tell you if they had fun. So I was always fine to wait until Friday to find out that they painted leaves on Tuesday or whatever. If you trust the nursery and have a happy child it should be a complete non issue, obviously that’s not the case for you though.
