My DS has been attending a nursery for approx. 6 months since he was 12 months. There have been various niggles with the nursery since the start but recently one of the full time qualified members of staff has left which has made the room my DS is in seem very overstretched. However, a particular issue this morning really upset me for some reason even though it seems really minor.
I took my son in as usual. There were two members of staff (including my son’s key worker) together with the deputy manager stood in one corner of the room discussing a piece of paper. Another member of staff was talking to another parent in the opposite corner. There were no other staff in the room. Eventually my son’s key worker turned around and asked how he was then picked him up and waved goodbye to me. Before I had even gone out of the door she had put my son on the floor without saying a word and turned her back on him and gone back to the group discussing the paper. I nipped down to the pegs to hang up DS’s coat and had to walk back past the room to leave. My son was still sat there by himself being ignored by all the staff. For some reason this really upset me and I wanted to walk back into the room and grab him out. He just looked so alone.
I’d welcome your views on whether I am completely overreacting?

Is this okay - was I overreacting?
