Nursery and Trips Out

mwbrown

It was actually a general question (which i possibly worded slightly wrong!)..

My daughter is at a private nursery and we pay nearly 600 a month for the priveledge, and the question was as "fluffnutter" said, was a general "shouldnt lunch be provided for the school trip!" as we are paying for the trip and it includes a morning and afternoon snack which she gets when she is in nursery, so i would have thought that they should provide a packed lunch for the kids (i dont object (and would never ever not let my daughter go on a trip, or anything else, we basically give her everything we can and will gladly put my daughter a packed lunch for the trip - which she is looking forward to (but as some posters have put,, she wont be having a sandwich, packet of crisps and a chocolate bar! she wiill be having a sandwich, a sugar free drink and a piece of fruit of her choice - shes quite good in that she doesnt really bother about eating lots of chocolate and sugary things - she doesnt really bother that much about crisps either).

Then two slices of bread with some ham in between and a packet of crisps aren't going to break then bank then are they?

Is it me, or does any1 else think that this is wrong, basically my 3yr old daughter is going on a school trip (cost £13 includes coach there and back (obviously), morning and afternoon snack. We have to provide a packed lunch for her - i would have thought that nursery should provide a packed lunch for her as we are paying for them to look after her - or am i being petty in thinking that if she wasnt going on this trip they would have to provide her with a lunch....

Comments appreciated.

So you begrudge providing a packed lunch for your daughter?

Jesus. :mad:

The listing of what was in the packed lunch was just an example of what can be put into a packed lunch. It wasn't prescriptive, just examples. HTH.

Well then presumably you wouldn't send your child.

Others think it's not too young and do send their children.

Obviously I would not send my child at so young an age and yes, it is up to the parents. I was giving MY opinion! I do not agree with school trips. They can cause immense problems for those parents who cannot afford for their child to go and a lot of the trips are pointless.

I think you need to loosen the purse strings a bit.

if you are complaining now wait until they get to school, some weeks it cost us £30 to £40 just to send our two to school, with dinners, afterschool activities, trips, sponsered walks, dress down friday which a couple of terms ago they made every Friday, heathly tuck shops, oh non heathly tuck shops the list goes on and on.
