Wwyd if nursery teacher didn't like your child?

My 3 year old goes to a school nursery 5 mornings a week. He started there a bit later than the other children, before this he was in a private nursery as I was working full time.

Now I'm in no way trying to say that he is an angel & innocent, he can really really test someone's patience & his listening is particularly bad, which I told the nursery before he started. Nothing wrong with his hearing, just him playing up.

It's a regular occurrence for the nursery teacher to speak to me about something he's done that day, & believe me I do take it seriously, I always talk to him about it & if it's particularly bad he gets punished with a toy taken away etc. Every morning before school we sit & talk about our little set of rules, things he has to remember not to do when he's there (no hitting, no throwing sand etc)

I know it's because he's my child that I find it hard that his teacher just doesn't seem to like him, like today on his way out she stopped him to take something off of him & with a look on his face she sort of pushed him out of the class. Not forcefully but it was just the look 😕 as I said I know he can be a PITA so I can't particularly blame her.

I don't know maybe it's because I'm not well & pregnant so hormones playing me up, but I can't help feel a bit sad that he's not liked & it shows I just want him to fit in

I don't think she intended for me to see the look & him being ushered out the way today. I'm not saying she's a horrible person, she's always perfectly nice to me, maybe its just that she's a bit firmer than the assistants in the nursery? I generally get a better vibe from them when they interact with him, although obviously I'm not there for the majority of the time.

Today the irrational/emotional side of me was saying 'well if he's not liked then he's not going back there!' But I know that's just silly, I have to work through it with them, see if she comes up with any positives rather than only negatives when I speak to her on Monday
