Oh ruddy NORA

[FrannyandZooey]

I have been really happy with ds's nursery and he has settled in beautifully. The manager told me this week that on a Wed afternoon there would only be him and one other child attending (it is v small quiet nursery), which I thought was great as ds has a very busy day on Wed and I thought the extra attention would be perfect for him.

However today we went and there is a new member of staff and the other child is her son. In theory the manager is there working as well but when I came to pick up ds she was on the phone so ds was with the new member of staff and her son, I suspect it will be like that most times.

I don't feel particularly over the moon about this. I know there is bugger all I can do about it, but I wanted to moan. I feel so disappointed - I like this nursery a lot and we had just got settled in and everything was going beautifully. I don't feel comfortable with it now. Oh bother

God this thread has gone a bit hostile for no reason at all

Franny wasn't being unreasonable as far as I can see, she wasn't even given a chance to explain why she felt concerned. Nice.

Sorry. Perhaps a bit off. Slightly riled by the obvious. Still. Please explain.

There were lots of genuinely don't understand why this is bad comments (some of them a bit stronger than other - usually people with lots of children, or a more intense posting style), leading the way for F&Z to explain why she thought it would be bad.

I still don't get why it's awful - but I will add (in case it's useful) that at ds's nursery one of the staff has 3 children there (one in each room) and it works fine.
