Childminder's dog has bitten DD

I would be asking questions about how it happened and better trying to understand the set up. Was it an unprovoked attack? Where was the CM and thus the level of supervision? Where is the dog now? Etc. My response and next steps would depend on her answers.

The dog itself clearly cannot be around kids ever again. But I would be more concerned that the CM was not supervising adequately for this to have happened. Small children do prod and annoy dogs, and even the best natured dog, if it is being hurt, will defend itself. If this was going on, the CM should have intervened well before it escalated to biting.

Who is making assumptions now?

What sort of bite? Did it break the skin? Did DC need to see your GP or go to A and E?
Dogs do jump up, but I am reminded of a story my late DH told me about an incident from his childhood.
A child told his parents that a dog in the street had hurt him. The parents told the owner and the dog was put to sleep as being dangerous. It emerged a few days later that the child had been hurt by the dog because he had kicked the dog in the mouth and had hurt his foot in doing so (i.e he'd hurt his foot on the dog's head, the dog had not hurt him at all).
I'd check what actually happened before I put a sentient creature to death.

I would report the childminder to Ofsted.

You sound utterly ghastly

A relative of mine was bitten on the face by their family dog when young and has the scars to prove it.

They didn't re-home the dog or PTS.

Just put it down to one of those things (it wasn't a dangerous breed).

Personally I've always thought that was a bit lax, but just showing the breadth of attitudes. Some people may just see it as a thing dogs do.

I would expect the CM to come up with a measures to ensure this never happens again, and telling all their charges' parents what happened and how he/she is dealing with it and then let them decide whether they wish to continue. Whether or not you choose to stay.

Any more details so that people can provide more concrete advice:

What sort of bite - a nip that didn't break the skin from a puppy while playing, or an aggressive bite that caused damage?

What action has the childminder taken?

Why was the dog with the child?

Me neither. Although I feel very sorry for anyone looking for childcare these days.

What did you do, OP?
If it happened last week presumably you have done something by now.

This was last week? Surely you haven't sent your child back there since?

And how would you do that?

I wouldnt use a childminder who has a dog in the first place.

I didn't know children are mixing with dogs at CMs now 😳 .

Well, there are if the dog was secured away from children, was provoked in some manner and then bit to defend itself.

This actually happened to me at 3 years old at my childminders (who was also my godmother)

Her family dog, not prone to being nasty, was lying in a doorway and I tripped and fell onto him. It was a complete accident. He bit my face, very close to my eye. I don't even remember it happening but have some vague recollection of my godmother sitting me on the kitchen side utterly beside herself with panic, trying to give me first aid. I had to have some complicated suturing under anaesthetic to fix it. You'd never know now that it had happened, the scarring is not obvious.
I broke that dogs ribs with the impact of me falling on him. Poor thing.

My mum didn't demand the dog be put down. He wasn't, although my godmother did offer to do this. And I returned to her for childcare. He was kept away from us behind a stairgate but was never aggressive ever again. He died an old dog who was very loved.

Only you know what you'll be comfortable with moving forward OP, emotions are understandably high in these situations but context would be good.

Ultimately the cm will have to choose her business or her ddog...

I am
the biggest dog person going - but I would report to the police and all relevant regulatory bodies.

there are no two sides where a child in this environment is bitten by a dog.

I would be extremely angry and upset. I would want to know the full extend of what and how it happened. I would remove my child from the setting immediately. I would also inform ofsted as it's a safeguarding concern.

I would not involve social media.

Well quite. Bit odd to post such a brief post for such an important situation that you need advice on.

Hopefully the op will come back and clarify the situation.

This happened last week and it’s already Thursday. What did you do?

Once again, an awful lot of assumption going on here.

It's very sad all round but I would also report.

I would report to the police and I would not rest until the dog was put down. I’d report the childminder to ofsted and the council as she has failed in safeguarding children in her care. Why was the dog even in the same room as the children? Nevermind in a position where it was able to bite.
I would report to the parents of the other children if I knew them and I would plaster all over loca Facebook pages so parents knew to avoid this childminder.
Absolutely awful and a total failure by the childminder. Any idiot knows a dog should not be around children especially children that are paying to be cared for
