Want to change my daughters school

Hey guys just want some opinions on what I’m about to say, am I being a worried parent?

my daughter started nursery in a school at the age of 3 years, her speech and education was coming along amazing. I then had to pull the school up a few times due to some injuries and incidents happening over the months where I wasn’t happy that they hadn’t informed me, causing me a lot of anxiety I changed my daughter school to start reception. Having been there nearly a year now I’m not seeing any progress at all and feel like she is falling behind. the teacher to student ratio is 17:1 which is quite high but thinking my daughter will carry on with her progress from the previous school she isn’t meeting an expectation I would imagine. Before at 3 years old she could write her name which had seven letter fine now she gets to the 4th letter and mixes the rest up. I’m wondering as parent would any of you move school again? It tearing me apart and I feel like a rubbish mum. I don’t want to keep moving her school and she is having to go through the change and make new friends. I just want her to be settled and happy and learning. Thank you

Well change schools then. The grass isn’t always greener. Happiness is key

Even in a private uk system with more children to a teacher ratio at the cost of £20k plus you can’t expect much ….. you have a good set up at your current school

I think you have an excellent ratio and free. It does depend on the teacher though and the class as a whole. It could change in sept but

Not happy move. Wait until 11 plus / secondary schools come into play a different ball game.

if ahe isn’t happy move … lots of schools. If your child is happy that means a LOT

Have you spoken to the school? What have they said? Is she happy and thriving in other areas?

Is she happy?

Yes: Leave her
No; Move her

have a meeting with the teacher, ask how she is in class and how to help, what to work on at home . school is not the only place to learn you can do extra stuff at home ie reading, writing, spelling
