My 4 yo is attending a council nursery-school full time. Overall we're very happy with the setting, he's happy there, developing well, etc.
The one issue we have, is a complete lack of communication between nursery and us as parents. They basically function like a school, there is no handover and we barely know what he does beyond the parents meeting 3 times a year, which lasts about 10 min.
Now to the issue: my son has been displaying some unusual behaviours at the childminder in the past couple of weeks. Things like being aggressive to younger children out of nowhere (not because they're arguing), or putting his pants down in the middle of a game for no reason.
When I've talk to him about it, he tells me these things happen at nursery and his copying his friends.
We had a similar issue last year with the aggressive fighting, and talked to nursery at the time. They were understanding, told me it was the older children's influence (he was only 3, mixed with 3-5 yo) and I think they read some books, but that's about it.
We're obviously planning to address it at home, but I'm trying to decide if I need to raise at nursery or not. Given the low communication, it feels a bit pointless.
My thinking is that next year he will be in school, and I imagine things like this will keep happening anyway. We'll have to teach him what's the right/wrong behaviours, and that he shouldn't be copying others.
Is that the right approach? He's our eldest so we don't really know what to expect from school...
