dear mums (and dads), I'm looking for some advice, please.
My daughter started nursery in April and despite my best intentions it's going really badly. She took about a month to settle in, which I gather isn't unheard off. She's now OK there, but I'm not. There are lots of small and big things I've politely complained about, but clearly the manager doesn't welcome constructive criticism, as she threatened to refuse to take my daughter in the nursery any longer if I kept complaining. I felt humiliated and powerless to move her immediately, as there were no better alternative nursery.
I resigned myself to her spending another term at the nursery until January 2014, when she has already a place at a local pre-school. I've now just found out a newly opened nursery which could take her from Sep. till January. Should I move her for just a term? I really don't know how easily she'll settled in the new place. I would feel guilty if she doesn't settle in easily, and I would equally feel bad if she continues to attend the current nursery when perhaps I could be happier if she went to the newly opened one. What would you do? Thank you for yours answers.
