Hi, am new to this site. DD is 14 months, and in her 3rd week at nursery part time. In that time, she has come home with a bottom that's not thoroughly cleaned 3 times - I really don't feel this is being viewed as seriously as it should be by the nursery, I shouldn't have to complain once let alone 3 times!
We use cloth nappies, which they claim to be supportive of, but many of the staff's body language / facial expressions tells a different story (one rolled her eyes when we arrived for a settling in session and I mentioned she may need a change). We also followed baby led weaning, which I explained, filled out forms where I made it clear she self feeds entirely, then found out by accident one morning they'd been spoon feeding. vice principal was understanding about it, said would observe, but then never fed back to me, and is generally poor in this regard (took two days to respond re the first poor cleaning incident).
Part of the reason we chose the nursery was it's much vaunted organic cafe - having seen that none of the breakfast items, including milk, are organic, I highly doubt that much of the produce is, and feel a bit misled.
What I'm wondering is, am I right to be upset about these things? I can't help feeling that the poor communication I've witnessed is a sign things are only going to slide further. Are there childcare options in Kingston that are more suitable to my style of parenting (cloth, blw, that won't "try to wean" my child off her comforter without my consent etc etc), and how disruptive would it be to move DD elsewhere at this stage as she's just starting to properly settle? I'm at a loss to know what to do next, thoughts welcomed. Sorry for the essay. Reaches for
