My child has been at the nursery since a few months old. It used to be a privately owned nursery but was purchased by kindred with no warning to staff or parents causing a lot of upset.
Since the takeover, activities have dwindled, children are moved up to rooms earlier than usual and staff turnover is high.
Like many others, we stayed for consistency for our child's routine, but a lot of the original staff have moved on, which is disappointing.
There are new faces every week, with no introductions and no idea who is looking after your child.
Whilst my child is happy as they remain with their friends they have grown up with, handovers are basic and minimal activities now.
There used to be different activities each term but now all they seem to have is a football session and a library bus.
The few existing staff that remain are fantastic.
Nursery management and kindred management however do not like to address issues and are avoidant.
