dd's nursery is supposed to open at 7.30, it took me until 8.30 to get through and find out that there was one member of staff there who didnt know whether they would be open as other staff were "trying to get in"
I dont know whether to be annoyed or not. I mean, primary schools round here (I work in one) know by 7am whether they are opening or not and a parental acscade is put into place to let the parents know.
The nursery is owned by Asquith and has a texting service for when there are outbreaks of flu at nursery or for when they advertise their open days [hmmm]. Am i being unreasonable to think they should just decide one way or another before opening time and text everyone? It's obviously an automated system so i doubt it would take much effort.
There was similar confusion last year, except the snow wasnt too bad, so I turned up at nursery only to have to stand there for 20 minutes while they faffed about decided whether to open (there were 2 staff members ther but not the manager).
Is this normal? Or do others nurseries have systems in place?
Oh, I should say that at 10am ish they issued a list iof nurseries open on the website - how very helpful (not).
