Negative comments from nursery

[Buttercup1980]

Hi I’m thinking of moving my 2.5yr old from his current nursery.
Every time I go to collect him, his key worker loving informs me that he’s either very loud, doesn’t listen, he won’t use the toilet didn’t have a nap. Now I know he’s no angel but I feel it’s a bit much that every time I collect him, it’s only negative comments.
He is advanced in other areas such as his speech and colours, letter and numbers etc but we never hear about any of the good things.
I just don’t know what to do for the best. I’m worried that if I confront her about it then she will take it out on my son. Any advice would be gratefully received.

I'd move him if i was you. My daughter has been to two nurseries. Some negative comments have been made but they were said in a nice way, not to make me feel bad but to just let me know when anything bad happened. They shouldn't be complaining to you all the time, it's not very professional. Do they say anything nice?

Move him. Any place where the thought of the staff taking anything out on a toddler even enters your head isn't a great place is it?

Thanks for your response. :). Sometimes she will say he’s been well behaved today. But I’d say that was rare. She also seems to undervalue his achievement. Showing me work he’s done stating that he counted to 4 today when I know for a fact that he is more than capable of counting to 20. It’s tge small things. Maybe she’s just taken a disliking to him :(.

I haven't known many 2.5 year olds who reliably use the toilet, still nap, aren't loud, or who listen

It could be inexperience on the key workers part, but if you feel it's not right for him there then move him. I think you get a gut feeling about these things

I went through a similar experience with one of my DD's teachers and took it up with the manager. I would suggest talking to the manager so they can have a chat with the teacher as this shouldn't be happening. Tell them that the negative feedback is having an impact on you as well as your child and maybe ask for the key worker to be changed? You can also suggest that the keyworker always addresses several areas of your child's day, so maybe talk about anything arty or crafty or sporty that they participated in...or other activities or food they might have enjoyed throughout the day.
If this doesn't work, change nurseries.
I hope this problem sorts itself soon!
