Nursery expense and time wasting

My family pay good money for my child to go to nursery but they keep sending him home "Ill" where he's allegedly had a temperature or been sick, and I pick him up and he's all smiles and bouncing around. He's even asked to go in to town and walk round the river when I picked him up today. He's watching TV and eating pringles. He's fine.
But the teacher said I'm not allowed to send him tomorrow either.
I had a day out planned with a friend today, we drove for forty mins to where we were going to and had to turn around and drive all the way back. And he's not even ill. And I can't do a thing about any of it.
It's a good thing I'm not working because I'd have been fired by now I'm sure.

@dale74 he benefits from spending time with the other kids so so much, it's a huge shame they do this

@Vengabus actually kids don't need socialization with other kids until they're over five it's actually better mentally for the intelligence level great job with me with one of its parents up until 5 years old

When they're with their parents versus other kids they learn better sentence structure on how to speak properly better pronunciation and their whole intellect develops at a faster rate

@dale74 yeah some people say that but in our experience it's not true. Nursery has taught him so much, and he bounces off the walls when he can't go. He needs kids to play with, and to learn from. He doesn't have any other family, and we can't be his whole world for 5 years, that would be absurd.
