hi all,
we are pulling our daughter out of silver strawberry in queen street, edinburgh.
it has had a huge staff turnover in recent months,all of the decent ones are gone.
several i spoke to were about to qualify and they were told they could not be guaranteed a job! (instead they get young, unqualified, minimum wage girls in)
this is obviously not good for continuity of care, never mind the fact that not a single one of them working there had a child !
the nursery has yet another new manageress as of the last few weeks, and is quite literally half staffed by agency workers.
this morning when i dropped off our daughter there was rubbish all over the basement level (literally right next to the kitchen),it's like they just don't care.
the rubbish has been an issue before (food waste aswell) and the previous management took literally weeks to clear it, yet it's back.
their care commission report from 27/6/11 is nothing short of disastrous (all 1's and 2's, the lowest grades).

our daughter has been there for a few years and it really has gone downhill dramatically since my post about them in april when i praised the staff, so glad to be getting her out of there.the staff make a nursery, and all the decent ones have gone!
as you can probably tell, i am so unhappy with this, you want the best for your child and you see things slipping it's easy to think things will improve, but they have just got worse and worse.
