I’m sorry that you were not happy with your experience at Young Sussex. Had you raised any concerns with us at the time, we could have helped to resolve them. In response:
Logistically, not every special event will be available to every child. That said, COVID has disrupted our normal routines over the past year and many or our regular visitors are on hold.
We successfully support the development of all children. Age-appropriate learning is constant if not always explicit.
The pre-school activities you describe, are very much in line with what your son would've experienced in our pre-school room, had he stayed.
Eary Years funding is complex and each nursery has its own funding/pricing structure. Funded-only sessions at Young Sussex are 100% free with all snacks, nappies and activities included. Hot lunches are offered as an optional extra, at cost. Funding is not available for every hour of every session and the unfunded balance is chargeable.
I am pleased that you have found a setting that can better meet your needs.
