Almost 4 year old very bored at nursery!
Firstly let me explain that this isn't my post and was written by my wife on a government parenting type forum, to which there have been no replies.
She is always listening to me banging on about the SV650.org and how it is the font of all knowledge, so when she was moaning about her post not getting responses I flippantly commented that she was using the wrong forum and should be using this one.
I realise that I should keep my gob shut, but didn't so her is her post for you wise lot to have a crack at:
My son who will be 4 next month is as the title suggests very bored at his day nursery. He attends 3 days per week whilst i am at work.
Up until very recently, he was enjoying nursery. A lot of his friends have left to go to school and he now finds himself the oldest there. I have asked if someone could spend a bit of time with him to help him with learning to write his name etc...
The response i got was that they learn one letter a week on a specific day per week. Personally i dont think this is enough. He is very keen at the moment and i would really like to take advantage of that.
This morning when i dropped him off, i gave him some sheets which i had printed from the internet for him to do during the day. He was thrilled? I have since i got into work printed about a ream's worth of educational activites for him to try.
Should i really have to do this....I dont mind because we'll use them at home anyway...but do they not have a responsibility to provide him with suitable activities. I pay them well for their care......
