Can I take my child out of nursery

[Naz110]

Hey guys, so my daughter has been in a nursery since after Easter. She is 3 and gets the 15 hour funding.
Anyway we are moving away. I notified the nursery today and they were getting very funny about it. They wanted to know why I'm moving away and where im going.
But I dont wish to disclose this. If I wish to take my child out of a nursery I should be able to do without having to answer any of these questions? What are your thoughts.

Safeguarding and/or funding.

Yes of course you can but in terms of safe guarding it's a bit of a red flag. They're just doing their jobs maybe just explain the situation to them

They’re likely asking due to safeguarding. To be honest, I don’t know why you wouldn’t just tell them. At least a rough idea of where you’re moving to unless it’s due to safety concerns outside of nursery. Its also good if they share any developmental records with the next setting.

They simply want to make sure your daughter is safe and that nothing bad is happening, so you are on the same side. I would just explain to them what is happening so that they know she's ok.

Just explain and if there are any part you dont want to tell them let them know why. I.e domestic violence etc. They have a duty of care to your child and by asking these questions they can satisfy themselves they know what is happening to them. If you are overly uncooperative then that will raise red flags.

It should only be safeguarding if there are concerns which should have been raised with SS if so. People are entitled to move and/or change nurseries provided the contractual notice is given.
If OP was moving abroad they would give records to OP. TBH all developmental stuff should be shared with parents at parents evening anyway.
They probably think you aren't moving and are just sending to another local nursery
To be friendly you could be vague and general "we are moving up north". Nobody is obligated to share personal details unless there is a concern as I said SS would be involved in that case.

Why don't you want to tell them?

We had this. They needed us to confirm in email why we were removing a child. Makes sense and I’d rather they were cautious. Means they can help the child too by preparing goodbyes. Is it a secret?

This is probably why they’re concerned

Also the new nursery may want to get in touch with them so they can share info on her development
