We were very saddened to read your review and feel your comments are not balanced or accurate, and hence a misleading reflection on the nursery. Parents are always permitted to stay during settling-in and we offer as many settling-in sessions as needed. On reviewing our records, it seems that although you booked three 5-hour half-days per week (we do not offer 3-hour sessions), you only left your child for between 1.5 and 3 hours at a time, making it difficult for him to connect with the team and his peers. All children are fed and taken outdoors throughout the day. Your child may have missed garden time due to shorter sessions. Mealtimes might have been a better experience if we had been aware of his medical condition, which wasn't discovered until shortly before you withdrew him from the nursery. Your comments are conjecture and defamatory, and it is regrettable that you felt the need to express your thoughts in this way, rather than talking to us directly.
