Am I Over reacting?

[cyberseraphim]

The nursery DS1 goes to is very strict about his time - He is not allowed in a minute before 9.00 am. His teacher told me in (I thought) quite a nasty way that he had to wait outside when on the one occasion since starting last year, we arrived about 10 mins early. I offered to stay with him ( all the NT children were in the room) but she said no we had to leavea and wait outside. I know they are technically in the right as he is only entitled to 2 1/2 hours a day but why make such a big issue out of it? I would never expect to regularly drop him off early and quite often when I go in at 9.05, his 1-1 teacher isn't there or is busy with another child.

DS's m/s nursery is also really strict about noone going in earlier (and about not even going in the nursery playground area early!).

I probably am over reacting then - we have had some more serious issues with the nursery so sometimes it is the little things that get to you

Why are the NT children allowed in the class and not him? If they're that strict about the times with him and you get there a little early, couldn't they just ask you to collect him a little earlier as well that day?

That's the way I felt - why is it okay for NT children to be in the room - I offered to stay to supervise him but no, he had to stay out. Oh well I can wire him up to the Greenwich Time Signal !

do the NT children start earlier than him? or are they allowed in early and your DS isn't?

I don't see why they wouldn't let him in if you offered to wait with him, could see how they couldn't guarantee safety or something if you weren't there but makes no sense if you were going to be with him. How are you supposed to explain to him that everyone else can go in but he can't? Probably one of those things it's not worth arguing about but still....
