IS this NURSERY OWNER UNREASONABLE?????

[drosophila]

DP drops dd (2.5) off every morning. She is quite subdued when he drops her off. The owner says 'Good Morning' in a loud voice and dd says nothing.

recently I have noticed she is subdued when I pick her up and won't speak just nods or shakes her head. I asked yesterday how had she been. Fine fine she eat her lunch.

I said that she was giving me the silent treatment. 'She is like that every morning refuses to say good morning and I think it is AWFUL' came the reply from the owner.

A few bits of info:

• She has been going there about 15 months
• She is 2.5
• She used to be delighted to see me.
• She talks non stop normally

Any opinions?

can you take your dd & see how she & the staff interact?

Look at the staff and how they interact with the children, do they talk to them and play with them, or do they just sit and watch. Ask about the feedback you will get on your child at the end of the day, will you get given a verbal report or a written report. Ask if your child will have a keyworker and if that person will oversee her induction to the nursery. And look around the environment - is it too 'perfect' or does it look welcoming and friendly. You could also ask if any other parents can give references. Hope it goes ok - am sending DD (5months!) in August and dreading it
