I've put off writing about this as I've been very upset and angry about it all, as well at times as finding it all almost funny (if it wasn't really happening), but a reply on another thread has given me heart, so here goes, and I'd really appreciate your opinions please.
Two and a half weeks ago, my 17 month old daughter was temporarily excluded from nursery for repeated biting. I went to collect her one evening and was asked not to bring her back the next day. She will be off in total for five and a half weeks, although the last two weeks is a planned holiday.
The owner asked me to keep her away, without consulting the nurses who actually look after her. As I left that evening all the nurses were saying goodnight and see you tomorrow.
I've tried over the last week to get a meeting with the owner, the manager and my daughter's key worker, but they haven't got back to me.
In my mind it is completely mad. I can't see how not being at nursery is magically going to teach her not to bite. She isn't capable of understanding why she isn't going. I was happy with her nursery up til now, but I've lost all my confidence in them. I also know that the suspension is because of one parent's complaints - in a previous conversation with the owner about the biting problem she said just as long as my daughter doesn't bite xxx again as the parents have complained so angrily.
Has any one heard of this happening to anyone else? How do other nurseries deal with it?
(and thanks Hercules for your message on the other thread)
