In our reception class you are expected to take the child in to the area outside the class room, help them hang coats up, put lunch boxes on the stand etc then take the child plus drinks bottle into class room, put bottle on unit in there and reading folder in childs drawer before depositing said child on the carpet where teacher is waiting - its a nightmare
. There isn't room for parents etc never mind pushchairs! I'm afraid mine have to be taken from me at the door, I can't get in with pushchair and there is no way I am leaving lo's outside.
Its crazy because half the children then cling to parents (particularly when they first start) and it takes ages to get them all settled. Would be much easier if they just went in when the bell goes and teacher/teaching assistants sorted them out!!!
