AIBU to question preschool after inconsistent explanation for toddler's scratch?

Goodness me, something doesn’t add up and husband might go mad at them! She’s got a scratch that was an accident, she will be fine! I scratch my child by accident sometimes as they don’t really take notice of their surroundings.

It was an accident that’s it. No malice
it left a tiny minor mark.
I don’t understand why you are getting so worked up about it- you said yourself you don’t think it was deliberate so what on earth do you want.
If you expect perfection then you are setting yourself and everyone up to fail.

Of course not. What material difference does it make if she was running or turning around on the spot? What are you going to do differently as a result of either of those actions? Make sure they don't let her run? Or turn?
And if you don't think and adult hurt your daughter on purpose, then what are you actually concerned about in their explanation? Are you worried that they don't keep accurate records and in an event of a more serious incident, this will be problematic? That I can understand. Although, it's purely hypothetical at this point.
Most likely you simply spoke to a member of staff who didn't witness the event, passed whatever sort-of matched what she's been told and referred you to the app for more details. Or the person who wrote the report on the app didn't witness the event and recorded information she's been given in short hand.
The result is still the same. Your child has negligeable "damage" and hopefully, had a nice day overall.

Gosh I should show you the huge egg sized lump my little one got in her first week at nursery.

I’ve also had a message on the nursery app from her key worker saying ‘I’m so sorry I knicked her on the forehead with my nail and it has left a scratch!’ They proceeded to send over an accident report that didn’t provide any further detail than that. And I didn’t question it any further because it is so minor and happens so quickly/ easily that there really isn’t much more to say.

Oh man can just imagine how your child will grow up. We are all thinking it and all know ‘that’ child 😆😆

Massively overreacting. My toddler gets daily bruises / grazes / bumps, i don’t give it a 2nd thought. They won’t tell you who the adult is for very obvious reasons. Same if your kid gets bitten or hit they won’t tell you who; and vice versa jf your kid does it. you Need to let go a bit

Parents like you are the reason good practitioners and teachers are leaving the profession. Last year my daughter was in a school nursery and she came out with a small red mark/bruise on her forehead, both the teacher and TA were busy at that point because several parents wanted to talk to them, it clearly wasn't a bad injury but I walked her back up to the door, waited and politely asked if she'd bumped her head, I instantly saw the pure panic in the teacher and TAs face and they started profusely apologising, one of them was supposed to walk out with her and tell me but they'd been distracted. They clearly thought I was going to kick off or complain but I told them not to worry at all, I know how much she falls/bumps her head and I wasn't going to be angry with them for being distracted by a line of parents who all needed to speak to them. Yes our children are precious to us but these teachers are trying their best in a classroom full of children, half of them with overbearing parents that they have to keep happy too. They're only human, give them a break

You’re nuts, OP!
you’re arguing with everyone because pretty much everyone disagrees with you and your DH!

you’ve argued with people who have quoted your own words to you and rather than admit your mistake, you change your tune!

your child was accidentally scratched at nursery, they told you about it, she’s fine, case closed!

If you do indeed volunteer with children, surely you are well versed in safeguarding procedure? I know you say a child would never get hurt in the setting (bubble wrap museum, cotton wool factory?) where you volunteer, but you have policies you could refer to? What would a parent do if, heaven forbid, their child got a small superficial mark whilst in your care?

Bonkers. I am now convinced this is a wind up.

The irony. Also saying her husband was fuming and going to go mad about it but then said he was actually only going to question it.

How can you even question the nursery’s inconsistency when you write completely contradictory statements yourself? You don’t say, for example; “when I got home and looked in my bag I found a snake in there” and then expect people to understand that you had also looked in your bag half an hour earlier and seen the snake. You said you got home and saw the scratch, ie, something you hadn’t already seen.

Constantly 🤣

You are massively over reacting. The explanation makes sense and you couldn't see the mark until you got home and describe it as superficial so why are you making a drama? People are not named in incident/accident reports it will always just say "someone" that does not mean randoms are wandering through as you seem to imply. I am amazed you work with young children and cannot understand how this happened

This is what you said: When we got home and saw the mark on her face, it was a small superficial mark showing some redness where the minor bleeding must have happened.

Your OP. "When we got home and saw the mark on her face, it was a small superficial mark showing some redness where the minor bleeding must have happened".
Copied and pasted. Goodness me.

I think you should remove your child from this setting, you are never going to be satisfied with the care.
