Although we had heard some negative feedback, we liked the space and initially had a positive impression. For the first few months, we were happy and saw some benefits in the environment and the teachers. We were proud for our son to be there.\nUnfortunately, things changed.\nOne day, our son came home with a badly injured face. The manager handed him over to my husband without even noticing the injury. When questioned, she said she didn’t know what had happened but would try to find out. We followed up by email, but even after 12 months, we received no explanation or update.\n\nAnother serious incident happened this year. I informed the deputy manager at drop-off that my son had been coughing all night, didn’t sleep well, and was very upset about coming in. That evening, we were told he had not been allowed into any classroom or with his friends for a couple of hours—simply because he didn’t say “Good morning.” During that time, he cried non-stop, and we belive he was also not given breakfast.\nWhen we raised this with the manager, her story conflicted with what we were told earlier. When we requested a statement from the deputy manager, yet another version of events was shared. There was no consistency, accountability, or real concern for our child’s wellbeing.\nDespite repeated emails and attempts to resolve the matter, we never once heard from the owner. When we asked that the incident be shared with other parents (so they could be aware and feel confident in the setting), the owner finally messaged us—only to say it would never happen again, but asked us not to tell anyone else. She also said she couldn’t share anything because it was “confidential.”\nWe tried to move past it, but we continued hearing more disturbing stories from other parents. We eventually made the decision to withdraw our son from the setting.\n\nHowever, even then the manager made it extremely difficult. She threatened to keep charging us until January 2026, even though we had not signed any new agreement. We have been charged for weeks he did not attend, which we believe is completely unfair.\n\nThis has been an incredibly disappointing and upsetting experience. We expected care, communication, and professionalism—especially when it involves the wellbeing of a child. Sadly, we did not receive that here from the managment. During parents' evening, I raised some of my concerns directly. However, instead of addressing them, the manager came into the room and told me to leave because my time was up. I found this extremely disrespectful and dismissive, especially given the seriousness of the issues I was trying to raise.\n\nI want to make it clear that we have always spoken very highly of the teachers.
