New on this board but just thought I would share what horrible sight I saw today when I picked my little girl up.
She's 9 months, wee soul, and has just recently been given medicine for asthma (coughs terribly when lying down/sleeping). Was fine at first when dropped off at nursery, in fact smiling and happy to go to the workers, when she started but over the past few weeks has been very upset when I drop her off. Not been keen on the nursery and have been planning to put her on the waiting list for another and today makes me want to just take her out right now.
Dp and I both went to pick her up and one of the girls said she was sleeping in the other room. Took a peep in the room and she was in the buggy sleeping, covered completely from head to toe (yes, even her face ) with a very thick blanket. Why on earth she would have even needed a blanket is beyond me as it was very warm today. TV was so loud as well (why is it in the sleeping area?) The girls in the room were acting as if this was normal, just pointed to her pram and said she was under the blanket having a nap! I actually lifted her and woke her up to make sure she was ok. She has asthma for goodness sake and those idiots were covering her face with a very thick blanket.
This is obviously how they put babies to sleep, very disturbed by this. Going to call the care commission tomorrow and formally complain about it. I'm just so upset that I don't have the money yet for a deposit for another nursery. Couldn't afford time off work either and the thought of putting her in there again makes me want to cry. Now we know why she's upset.
Could anyone tell me if I took her out asap would I also have to pay the four weeks notice it says in their booklet. Would really resent paying this but would it stop me getting a placement at another nursery?
Thanks for reading my rant, any advice etc would be appreciated.
