Latest Reviews for The Nursery At Canterbury College
07 September 2023
On the 25th Aug I took my son for a settling in session. During this
session I witnessed a young child crying by the door for his mum. No
staff tried to comfort him. I just watched as he cried alone and not one
member of staff got up for a good 5 minutes. Personally I feel 5 minutes
is too long to leave a child crying in this situation. How can a child
learn to settle in a nursery if no one is there for him? When I got up
to see to him and try to console him, this got the staff's attention and
then someone finally came to comfort him. Only not in the way you would
think. Instead of cuddles and reassurance, they got a tablet device out
to stick in front of him. This wasn’t working so they finally got his
mum in. She asked them not to give screentime and they just brushed it
off. I told her what happened and she told me that she had also
witnessed the same thing a couple days prior where a little girl was
crying and was just left alone to cry. I’d seen enough to decide not to
use this nursery.
