I might be over reacting here but I'll explain and you guys can tell me if I'm being silly or not.
I have had my daughter down to go to our nearest nursery in September. We applied last year and we are well into the catchment area and 10 min walking distance if that. We requested morning sessions and they said you get what you're given and if you're lucky you get the sessions that you want...
A 'friend' who lives spitting distance from a different school not too far from us (infact she can see the school and nursery from her house as she lives opposite it!!) (20 min walk for us) applied to the same school we applied to and they're just outside the catchment area.
Since applying she's subsequently sent her child to a nursery 15 min drive away as she's way too snobby to send her daughter to the school she lives opposite and will be sending her daughter to the main school from which her daughters nursery is attached.
Well we got the letters the other week from the school we'd applied to and were given bloody afternoon sessions... BUT my 'friend' has been offered the sought after morning sessions. She told me she has no intention of sending her daughter to this nursery or school. So I asked her if we could have her morning sessions and I'd ring the school to see if it were possible...
She then backtracked and said she needed to think about it and she's not decided yet where she wants her daughter to go which is bollux because all she's said for the last year is that she WON'T be sending her daughter there.
Ive just found that she's accepted the morning sessions and has told a mutual friend she's not going to send her daughter there but accepting now and will cancel it just before Sept!!!!
She knows how upset I am at getting the afternoons as it will mean my daughter having to change swimming and ballet lessons.
I've spoken to the school and we're on a waiting list for cancelled morning sessions or people not accepting the places but knowing that my friend won't be cancelling till the last minute makes me wonder if any more selfish people will be doing the same...
Ive since put my daughter into the nursery opposite 'her' house just for now until Sept as quite a few of our other friends have done and now she's regretting sending her little darling 5 miles away as we're all together in one nursery with local friends and she hasn't but snobbery taking the driving seat she won't change!
Am I being silly or do I have a right to be hacked off. I bloody hate all this nursery/school lottery and politics anyway and this is making it worse!
Sorry for rambling!
