It could just be a game. As a child, my friends and I did lots of imaginative play where someone was a servant (cinderella type) and had to clean the floor/wait on the 'prince/princess'. We also 'locked prisoners in the dungeons' and decreed they must be 'fed only on bread and water'. Grin

However, if you feel there is something more to it, and you know much more about the situation and children at hand then maybe have a word with the teacher.

It's the age discrepancy that would bother me - if it was a friend in her own class, and they were taking it in turns to be the servant, then no problem, just a game.

Our school put loads of effort in encouraging the older ones to take care of the younger ones, and they play together, but the older ones really look after them. It's one of the best aspects of the school.

Good grief! They're 4, my dd (6) is often a friends puppy/cat/wicked mummy can,t think where that's from at school. Get a grip.

Is the friend 4 or in year 4 ie 8 or 9? I wouldn't be so concerned about another 4 year old but an 8 or 9 year old is a bit different.

Year 4 so 8 9
