I am utterly pissed off with my nursery because they do not advise other parents about cases of head lice. I am not asking for name of infected child. I just want a poster advising parents to check their child's head.
DD has been infected 5 times over 3 months. Every time I kept her home to treat her thoroughly, advised nursery, asked for her bedsheets at naptime to be washed before I sent her back with shorter hair and plaits... She had a nasty cold early Dec, so I kept her home to recover, every single day I combed her hair to make sure there was none, she was clear when I sent her back on 21st and 22nd Dec, on 24th, I combed again and found 6 lice, 2 days at nursery and she is infected again.
I can't understand why nursery does not say anything. It is not a shameful event, we know they prefer clean hair, and anyone can be infected, again Idon't ask them to name anyone.
What can I do re nursery ? I have talked to management, carers so many times. I approached a few parents I know but I don't know that many. What else can I do ? Treating DD of course and my whole family too, vacuuming the sofa, washing beddings/hats/towels/hoodies every time, my house has never been that clean and smells of lavender. But if the source is not treated, it will be back again and again.
Please tell me I have a legal way to coerce nursery to advise parents.
