to have expected at least 1 or two things for mummy to have come home from nursery after a year of being there???

[tryingtobemarypoppins]

Perhaps a painting or a card, Christmas decoration????? DS is 17 months now. AIBU??? I am about to fill in nursery questionnaire and want to add this.

Also despite getting an outstanding OFSTED all their desplays are soooooooo dull, just a few photos of babies slepping, or eating. Where are the exciting giant nusery rhyme characters or hundreds of colourful handprints????

AIBU about that too???

LOL at the family portrait with the big penis. DS1 used to draw me with massive boobs (he was breastfed until he was almost 3!)

When DS1 was in the baby's room at his (branded) nursery, I was disappointed that he never brought home anything, but I didn't have the nerve to say anything. When he left at the age of 3, they gave me an enormous bag full of everything he'd done and all the observations the nursery nurses made. For some reason, they thought they had to file everything in case ofsted wanted to see DS's attempt at sticking pasta to cardboard

DS2 came back with a fantastic bright orange painted plate that he made on his very first day at a different nursery (he was 11mo). I have it up in my office to assuage my guilt at sending him to nursery!

i am suprised nursery doesnt do the normal valentine/easter, mummy/daddy day, halloween and christmas

though at 17mths most will be the teachers work and not your childs

my dc 3.6 brings home something most weeks from nursery,we bung it on fridge then throw recycle when next one comes
