Thank you everyone, for your kind words of understanding, quick replies, and helpful suggestions.
My older son's nursery assures me they will give a letter tomorrow. I have a dated letter for my younger son when we registered him with our GP. I am also pursuing a letter from our health visitor just in case. And we will get the dentist sorted, too.
We escalated the letter request to the head doctor at our surgery, adding additional context and asking for an exception. He has treated both of my kids, I've spoken with him directly a number of times, and felt like he would be reasonable about providing this. But alas, no - he had the same person call me back and tell me they would not do it. (This after in person request yesterday.)
TBH I'm incredibly frustrated with the surgery over this, and I'm considering changing practices over this. I might be overreacting, and Matt's right- I'm definitely tired! But it also feels very much like they just dont care, and I'm not sure I want that from our healthcare provider.
Rant over. Thanks again, everyone.
