My DD (4yrs) started acting a bit odd on a night time recently. She couldn't go to sleep without her lamp on and the passage light on (she's normally fine with her lamp) and got very upset when it come to going to sleep because everything was too dark and she slowly became terrified (now we have monster away mist and half a dozen teddies on the bed to guard her as she sleeps too).
At first me and DH thought she might of seen something on tv that was playing on her mind or maybe someone had said something that has troubled her. It slowly got worse so we asked her key worker at nursery to have a talk with her (as we had already tried to talk to her about it all but she wouldn't tell us anything and would burst into tears).
While picking our DD up I spoke to a different member of staff and explained what was going on with DD and if the key worker had spoken to her.
The other member of staff casually said "oh that might be linked to the shed incident" - I had to ask for her to explain further as she wasn't willing too. She then explained to me how a group of the kids in DDs group were taking turns locking each other in the shed and they didn't let my DD out.
The member of staff had to and my DD was crying. When I pushed for answers e.g Why didn't you stop them? etc she brushed it off like I was making a big deal out of nothing. This has obviously affected her more than they thought as I mentioned it to DD when we got home and she told us she was really scared and she didn't want to go back to nursery. According to DD a girl locked her in on purpose. It wasn't a game.
I'm not really sure what I should do. It's not a school led nursery and she goes 3 afternoons a week 1pm-6pm. We are considering taking her out all together as this hasn't been the first time we have had an issue. AIBU to make a complaint? No one told me about this incident and DD has obviously took it all to heart. There is also the issue of them not allowing DD to have a drink of water during the day (which we have already complained about previously). Any advice would be great. Sorry this is sooo long.
