My dd goes to a private nursery 2 days per week and has for almost 3 yrs. Recently she has taken a few sweets in her snack box to share with her friend. they have came home with her and she told me she wasn't allowed them at nursery. I was never given an adequate explanation for this. today she took in a lollipop for herself and my friends dd. I made clear to the manager/owner and keyworker that they were for after lunch and teeth had to be brushed afterwards. No problems I was told. Then when I collected dd she told me she still had her lolly and was told to have it in the car on the way home I'm really cross about this.
I've discussed with the nursery healthy eating before. My dd has a very healthy diet with the occasional lollipop. I think it is my business what she has unless they are concerned she has an inadequate diet and they should speak to me about it if they do. I pay them a lot of money to look after my daughter and I expect them to discuss issues with me not rely on a preschooler to give me information.
I've written a letter of complaint but not sure whether to send it as it may be too strong but I'm just fed up by the fact they made out it was ok to me then refused to let dd have her lolly.
