It's nice for the children to have continuity and go back to where they were little, so they can see how they've grown, and the staff were great. I think it must be a terribly hard job. I like little kids but could NOT do it, day in, day out, especially for the amount they get paid. And it's so much harder to keep track of them once they're at school it makes you appreciate nursery all the more in retrospect.

I have also been witness to the snappy or snide remarks of a parent, it's terribly upsetting. It’s a great feeling for both parties when a child is happy at nursery.

Thanks for this posting, Erica. I'm going to read it all over again to be sure I've taken it in properly. Everybody has to make an effort for the arrangement to work well. It has to be mutual, or it won't happen. Husband and I always make an effort to be courteous and kind to nursery staff - and they in turn are affectionate and kind to The Bean. We can see she's happy there now. The little tinker's started waving us off when our services are no longer required in the morning! We're generally v. lucky in our place - they're professional and unbelievably hard-working. But I heard one parent shouting at a member of nursery staff! She looked like she was going to cry. Suspect he was just taking out his bad day on her. And he was about twice her age. Horrible. Too true! Thanks for this posting, Erica.
