Ex could collect dd from nursery??

[LoneMother]

I've been to look at two nurseries recently and I'm confused about their pick up/collecting child policies in relation to an absent father. Please could you help me?

Nursery 1 says they cannot release dd to her dad unless he knows the password. They said that he could not pick her up even if he has proof of his PR with him. They would call me straight away if he turned up.

Nursery 2 says legally if he turns up with proof of PR, he could take dd. They said passwords only apply to third party pick up (like a friend or uncle or grandparent) and even if they've never met him before, if he has ID and proof of PR they have to release her to him.

I always thought what nursery 2 said is accurate but I'm a bit upset because it's looking like no nursery for dd.

Does anyone know which one is the way the law works?

Presumably he would have to provide a birth certificate and formal identity, passport or driving license to prove he was the person named.

Glad you are feeling a bit better about it OP

Your nursery sounds similar to mine and they have been fab.

I had to have a meeting with the school to tell them the risks if my ex with PR....I was told similar but they would delay him...

If he just sends random texts asking if started nursery I would ignore them...
