Please help!! I need some objective opinions!!!
My D is in last year of Nursery, everything was great last year, but since Xmas things have changed. A new child (T)was introduced into the family group by the Teacher in question - she was the only one not to go to Reception in Sept and she decided to keep her in her group.
Over the last coupld of months my D has become more detached from L - her friend was last year, and I recently found out that T has been telling her that if she doesn't play with her she will tell the Teacher.
My D is starting to not want to go to Nursery, and when I raised this with the Teacher I didn't even get my sentence out before she jumped down my throst with 'it's vice versa, T was upset the other day but we didn't tell you as D was not upset'.
On Friday things got worse with a sand throwing incident. D & friend are adamant that T threw 1st, but on collection it was D and friend that were in trouble and Teacher kept smiling over at T.
Am I imagining this or does it seem that this Teacher has a major bias towards this child? If so what do I do?

Please heeeeelp!!!!

Some thoughts, in no particular order

  • not many weeks left (9?) in this academic year before your DD starts school
  • my DD is the same age and is very up and down with her friends. her best friend at the start of the year is less so now and some days totally ignored.
  • Child T may have behaviour issues you do not know about
  • you only have one side of the story and a 3/4 year old is never the most reliable witness.
  • why is your DD not wanting to go to nursery? Is it really about this child or is that just a convenient answer? Or what she thinks you want to hear?
  • with point 1 in mind, it seems to me that you could just tell your DD not to play with T and stick with her other friends.

These issues will arise in school too, and IMO learning to deal with this sort of thing is important.
It doesnt sound from your post like the teacher has a bias towards T.
