What does his journal say? Are there observations about his speech? You should have access to all observations and the journal. We were told that this is a legal responsibility of the nursery.

If the team has a concern, the key person / team leader / manager should approach you, not just any member of staff. Accusing the parent on the basis of assuming that you don't talk to him in the right manner - it sounds very unprofessional to me. I would be furious if someone did that to me.

If they had a real concern based on observations, they should present you with an IEP, an individual education plan. You should be part of discussing how you can work with your son. What have they suggested to you? Speech and language therapy?

From what you describe I get the feeling that this nursery is not managed well, even though I don't know it. You should request observations and an IEP - if they can't provide you with this, I would be very worried. Not to mention the accident: this is a very worrying story in itself. Just my gut feeling.

Please do not accuse a nursery you don't know of not being managed well. We were there for two years and couLd not have been happier.

We were there just over nine months and pulled our daughter out as soon as we could. Lots of little incidents followed by a fairly major one (in our opinion) feel free to pm if you like.

I definitely would not recommend and would totally agree that the management is not great and when my child attended there were numerous staffing issues.

Alarm bells rang for us too and we couldn't be happier with our decision to pull our child out, I got to the point where I really didn't feel comfortable leaving her in the building.
