My other daughter was there last year and I was not consulted on this whilst she was there. I have a friend who has a child who has been there since last September, they have not been consulted either. There was no mention of it when I went to look around the nursery with my child this time round -I was not asked for my thoughts then nor when I had to fill in my preferences which were for one full day and four half days. To suddenly get a letter in the middle of the summer term after having already made given choices on a form sent out by Fairlawn (and plans based on this decision) with no indication of a possible significant change is not good practice. They did not mention any previous consultation in the letter either - that is why I feel it is underhand. Either that or some very serious communication issues.
