Can nursery exclude child?

I've just had my 'parents evening' at my son's nursery, he's 20mths but really struggling with speech, as in he doesn't really say many recognisable words. He babbles but it's definitely not really words! The big issue is that what he does do is shout, a lot. If he wants something he shouts, if another child has something he wants he shouts at that child, sometimes right in their face. His key worker says that his shouting is starting to disrupt the other children and I'm really worried that they will decide he's too much work and just exclude him. The nursery have put development plans in place for him, saying words, flash cards that sort of thing but it still doesn't take away the worry. Can nurseries decide that a child is too hard work and get rid??

I would imagine that they can but I would also like to think that they would help work with you to make him settle in a bit better. It sounds as if they want to help him by putting measures in place but I suppose after a while if it hasn’t changed perhaps they can ask you to find an alternative. Can you check the terms and conditions that you signed when you joined?

They're private businesses so I assume they can refuse any child they like, but it sounds like they're trying to work with him to improve things.

Yes they can. There was a very violent child (3 years old) who was excluded from my son’s nursery and on the basis he’d deliberately punched my son in the head twice infront of me I was very happy. However, this was after months and months of trying to work with his uncooperative parents.

In your case I’d be incredibly surprised if the nursery excluded your baby for .....being a baby! He’s 20 months and he’s learning and developing. Their job is to encourage this. Work with them.

My 20 month old daughter has been hitting the kids in her class. Bloody mortifying, but I worked with the nursery on her behaviour which is now fine.

It’ll be fine

they do, but they would have to be violent and cause an ongoing risk to the other children that the nursery couldn't prevent.
