DS's nursery.

I told them before I left work (in 2006) that my baby would need a place in February/March 2008.

I called them December 2007 to see what was going on. They could only offer one day a week, not three as I needed, but that "may change".

I call them February 2008 because DS is clingy and I want him settled. They had "forgotten" about him (I told them he was clingy before Christmas). So we have 2 weeks to acclimatise him. The Friday before I start work on the Monday they tell me that he hasn't had lunch there (they set up the times of visits) so he can't go in. I have to pick him up after lunch and they won't have him any more. I tell them not happening, they're having him. They call me on Monday lunchtime to tell me to pick him up, he's not staying... luckily a friend agreed to be on stand-by jic this happened on Sunday, but very stressy for me.

They tell me he can go full-time after Easter. After Easter, they tell me they meant September. OK, OK, June then. WTF do I do? I can't have more unpaid leave because of this!

I get a new nursery that TUESDAY to take effect on FRIDAY - so DS has a visit for 30mins on Wednesday and is left for an hour Thursday before starting on Friday.

He has now quit the hospital nursery and started the local one full-time, but in the two months he was there:
He screams whenever we enter the place (he doesn't even cry when I say goodbye the other one, he loves it there and wants to leave me to go to his carer!).
He never had a peg with his name on. Petty maybe but he didn't belong.
He also never had a photo of him on the wall like the other children.
His "development book" - doesn't have. For TWO MONTHS this nursery has made no comment on his development, activities or anything. I find that hard to believe - surely he has done SOMETHING there.
He has no paintings etc to bring home.

The new place, he not only loves but has a peg, swipecard and duck; has done crafty stuff; the staff tell me what he's been up to without referring to a book or noticeboard for what he's eaten or what his nappies were like.

What I want to know is not if there's a problem with DS disliking it (all kids are different, I don't see DS's dislike as being a problems) but if I should complain about his lack of induction and the fact that they sent him home early that first day, plus his last day (he did really bad poos and apparently they've had a bug for 2 weeks, DS may have that, but I'd not been warned before this) and the lack of any development progress. I know that for the last few weeks they've known DS is leaving so that almost excuses the lack of peg and picture, but not the lack of any paintings (all the other kids have paintings on the wall, so clearly they do them) or a written development/progress book or progress plan - surely there should be this plan in the first month? If you are looking after a baby then you need to do things with them. I'm just peed off again that I've had to take time off because they can't cope with poos. And don't tell me about an illness going around. And he just isn't included. Maybe it's me being oversensitive, but what do you think?
