My child is in Nursery after my return to work. They nursery chain have been hiring make staff recently. My child's nursery has 3 male staff.

My daughter's nappy was changed by a male member of staff. For my own personal reasons I feel upset about this but not sure if I can even say or do anything. I just don't like it.

Oh for gods sakes

Sorry, should we be assuming that all males are also paedophiles? Is that the insinuation or is there another reason I am missing?

If you’re not happy move nurseries.

And this is the reason certain occupations will never flourish. Sexism, spend years telling young girls you may be what you want now we are telling boys you can't work with young children 😭

Seriously? Every single man is a threat?

You are being unreasonable. I agree with ScarlettOBan, would it be a problem the other way round? Obviously they have been crb checked in order to be working there.

The majority of nursery staff are female and they change boys nappies.

Would you be uncomfortable with a female changing your son’s nappy if you had a son?

I think it’s great that theres more men in early years. Not happy? Move nurseries.

If you aren't happy with the staff at the nursery, for whatever reason, then remove your child.
