Hi there,
My young child has recently started at nursery. On the first visit, I stayed for the whole session and was very impressed by the level of care and dedication displayed by the staff. However, on our second visit, I left the room for a short amount of time to see how my child managed. He was happily playing when I left, and didn't appear to notice my absence. I returned 15 minutes later to hear my child crying extremely loudly, on his own, lying face down on the floor and pretty distressed.
My question is am I overacting to be cross that none of the staff seemed to be concerned about comforting him, or even sitting near him? On my return, I was informed that he had only been crying for a few minutes, and that attempts at comforting him had not been positively received. His key worker seemed very relaxed about the whole matter, and was sat on a chair at a bit of a distance, watching it all unfold. I appreciate the staff are busy, they have dealt with these situations a million times before, and they have a lot of children to look after, however, it made me wonder whether this is a normal practice. It is early days, and I don't want to be unduly about the place and the staff.
Any feedback will be gratefully received.
