Went to pick DD up from nursery today. It's school holidays so there are school age children at the nursery this week. Went to Preschool to collect DD and they had put all the school age children in with preschool and it was absolute mayhem in there. It annoys me when they do this because I don't think it's fair on the toddlers to be with up to nine and ten year old's all day and they have toys and stuff that aren't appropriate for under three's. They have a separate room for out of school.
I heard someone crying as soon as I opened the door and looked around and it was DD. She was sat at a table with her back to a wall, the table to her right, one boy about six knealt next to her on her left and another knealt in front kind of trapping her in and one had hold of her hands. She was really upset, distraught in fact, and I have never seen her like that. None of the staff even went up to her despite one being stood about two foot away. I shouted her and the two boys let go of her and then pretended to be comforting her and then the member of staff who was stood close by clocked me and tried to come over and attempt to comfort but it was definitely only for my benefit. I ignored her and picked DD up, who was still sobbing, and took her to put her coat on and then three other members of staff, including the first staff I mentioned, came over and was then all over DD asking what was wrong and saying she had only just started crying.
DD was proper upset and didn't stop crying the whole time which isn't like her and it wasn't just morngy/tantrum crying, it was real sobbing and she seemed really out of sorts - I can't explain it but she just wasn't right. All her face was red and blotchy so I know for a fact she had been crying a while.
I didn't say anything to anyone because the room was so loud and kids were running around and seeing DD like had knocked me sick and I just wanted to get out of there.
Once we got a bit further down the road she stopped crying but she wasn't right for ages and wouldn't look at me or answer me properly and it sounds daft but she seemed traumatised! I'm definitely not one of the PFB mums either so I'm not exagerrating and I definitely don't wrap DD in cotton wool. I also don't expect them to be at her beck and call and drop everything as soon as she cries, I know they are busy.
