It’s not that they’re being Nazis or anything. People are just people. I think someone mentioned early on, it’ll be just because there’s so many kids in the place that if they let them bring cake in for birthdays there will be cake nearly every day. That wouldn’t be a special Famous Five treat served up with lashings of ginger beer, that’d be a load of kids all nicknamed Tubby or Tubbette.
These things we see in the news like this aren’t the reason for anything. I reckon they’re symptoms. It should be giving people the clue that these nurseries are operating at the wrong scale. That’s the real issue, I’d say. To borrow a phrase from our Gaz, it’s not natural to corral that many anklebiters of that age in the same place. Nurseries, in my view, should be smaller and more numerous.
