Biting at nursery

My child has been at nursery was 11 months now, and has been bit just over 20 times, all recorded on our accident log. I have had conversations with the nursery and been reassured that this is normal for toddlers.

This week she has had 4 bites in 2 days, 2 of these broke the skin, and she’s told me each time it’s the same child.

Last month I spoke to the manager I was been made out to be unreasonable as this is common in toddlers and will happen in any setting, but surely if it’s the same child I need to step in here and bring it up again?

Im worried she’s being targeted and she’s starting getting sad at drop offs 😢

AIBU here? Is this normal? I appreciate it can happen but 20 times is a ridiculous amount.

I'd be requesting a formal meeting with the nursery manager to ask what they are going to do to keep your child safe. If things don't improve in the next two weeks I would be removing them.
