Nursery rant

First off, my little one loves going to nursery, he's never been bothered and goes straight in without a fuss. I always said he would only got to nursery for the social side off it. However had a few issues come up lately and I just need someone else to tell me I'm not over reacting. So for the past month he's been transitioning into the 2s room. For the last 2 weeks I have noticed he's coming home in random brand and size nappies. I provide nappies and I take a new pack each month which always lasts, if they run low they always message, so theirs no reason for them to be using others. All I can think is someone just can't be bothered to take his to the new room because he's not fully in their yet. Issue 2, I provide tea and send him with a lunch box. The last day he went they didn't send his lunch box home, so I sent him with a spare today. When I collected him today I was given his lunch box from Wednesday in a bag and told it hasn't been washed out. I don't feel it's too much to ask someone to rinse it out or give it a wipe round with a wipe? Next issue they log everything on a app which parents can view. Every time hes spent the day in the 2s room things have been missed or not logged in the afternoon. Such as his sleep hasnt been logged or afternoon snack today and most days his tea isnt logged. I get they are busy but i just feel they dont have time for him after today. There's a few other things but this is what's annoyed me today. I have sent them a message to voice my concerns but I'm now just wondering if I'm over reacting.

I don’t think you’re overreacting at all. it’s important that you know how much he’s eaten and what his naps are like. Also the nappy issue would annoy me too. If they don’t respond or act upon your message I’d call them or ask to speak to the manager when you’re next there. It’s probably just an oversight on their side due to the transitioning between rooms but they should be logging these things so you know how’s he’s doing x

@Laura thank you 😊 Individually I don't think each would bother me and I would just put it down to the room transition but because it's a few things it's making me feel like they don't have time for him.

I think you need to put the issues in perspective. There’s such a varying level of need within nurseries which can mean that often these things get overlooked. That doesn’t mean you are over reacting. From my experience when my son was transitioning between rooms, I had issues with his naps and nappies being put on the app too, because he was in his own “room” on their app it was a technology issues, as he wasn’t a baby, but not yet a toddler being 2. I explained to them the importance of me knowing what he’s eaten, how long he’s slept etc and they did better. Hopefully they will hear your concerns

@Jazmin absolutely and I understand the pressure of working in nurseries as I worked in them for 8yrs, and ran a room. I have sent them a message, so I will see what they respond on Monday. I do think it's teething problems with the transition process.

I don’t think you’re overreacting at all. You’re paying them money to look after your child, you should expect a high quality service in return, including an understanding of sleep, food intake etc. stand your ground, politely. Xxx

That would annoy me too! Especially the nappies. So many kids are allergic to nappies and wipes nowadays, why would they risk a rash? I've seen alot of nurseries have issues changing between rooms, but it's no excuse.
