…to not pay nursery the two months notice?

[IDontDrinkTea]

I am planning on pulling my DS out of nursery. He has had a few incidents recently that I have been unhappy about the standard of care he’s received. I therefore don’t want to pay the two months notice that is in the contract I signed, because I believe they’ve breached the contract first by not looking after him properly. Is this unreasonable?

For context, these incidents involve not noticing he’d been attacked by another child, not calling me when he had an allergic reaction and instead putting him to bed to “sleep it off” (plus giving him the food he’s allergic to in the first place) and another time he came home injured and they have no explanation for how it happened.

I will obviously never be taking him back there again, but do I still have to pay two months notice?

YABU - pay the nursery
YANBU - don’t pay

This…

They will keep your deposit.

Nursery deposits are normally a nominal fee deducted off the first months payment

Not in our case. The deposit is kept until all fees have been paid and the child leaves the nursery.

How much is the deposit @TulipsTwoLips?

Ours is a full months fees to be refunded once we leave the nursery.

Oh wow, fair enough, I apologise.
That's massive!

I absolutely knew it was CMPA that your child had - the comments on here just prove that people don’t view it as a “real” allergy because it tends to be a non ige allergy.

My own CMPA child was given the incorrect yoghurt once (we provided our own alternatives, someone gave my dd a normal yoghurt by mistake) - she was also given regular soft cheese because the staff member “didn’t know” that cheese contained milk (🫢) and on a third occasion she shared sandwiches with another child; thus eating dairy.

Its absolutely laughable that people a) don’t believe this is possible or b) think parents don’t know what condition their child is diagnosed with.

IMO unless it’s peanut allergy, people generally think it’s not that much of a big deal.
