To complain about nursery's report?

[ChocHotolate]

My daughter is 2 and attends a private nursery full time. She is very happy there and I really like all the staff, other than this I have no issues or complaints.
The long term manager is off sick so staffing has been a little all over the place recently.

We had a parent teacher meeting recently which included a written report on her progress against the EYFS framework. The report was shocking, hardly literate and seemed to be copy and pasted random sentences. It wasn't accurate to her development. For example it stated that she talk in 2-3 word sentences when she is way beyond this, using full sentences and near fluent speech.

The face to face meeting with her (new) key worker was fab, this lady clearly knows my child very well and her verbal feedback was much more accurate.

So, should I say something about the written report? Or just acknowledge that they're clearly a bit stressed with no manager and just be happy that the verbal report was accurate and my child is happy there?

I would assume the report just reflects that she's met milestones according to EFYS.

It's like the health visitor checks where it doesn't matter if the child can exceed the milestones, they just need to be happy they've been met.

the report is meaningless, dont give it another thought. It could be the height of eloquence, and you might think it is accurate, but it would still be meaningless, and worthless. It is just an exercise in box ticking, and in your case, right now, you are not happy with the boxes ticked, but other people might have been. Doesnt mean it is ever anything more than random box ticking by people busy with real work to concentrate on

No one else is ever going to see that report.

It really doesn't matter what it says. She won't be asked to produce it at job interviews

Is she happy? Does she have a good key worker?
Then it's all fine.

Reports are pointless and the poor staff have better stuff to spend time on.

Even if the staff's own literacy could be better, it is unlikely to make a difference to a 2 year old

Thank you for reassuring me that I don't need to worry about it.
Daughter is happy and loves the key worker so I will leave it there.

Yes it’s fine don’t worry. The report is likely standardised and copied and pasted several times just to get it done and the box ticked. I’d be more worried if her key worker didn’t have a good knowledge of your daughter and it was lovely she gave a more realistic overview x

Oh god DS's 2 year report drove me mad. They did adjust it for me when I pointed out a few things weren't right. But tbh the health visitor gave it no more than a passing glance and said he was doing just fine which I was happy about.
