DD's keyworker accidentally threw a shoe at DD's head

[sidesplittinglol]

If this happened to you, what would you do and how would you react?

I emailed a complaint to the nursery manager 2 days ago and I haven't even had a reply

Nobody should be throwing shoes.

That's not an accident.

What kind of shoe?

How old is your dd?

Why was she throwing the shoe?

Well accidentally would obviously mean no intention.... Was it a careless or avoidable incident?

How do you accidentally throw a shoe?

Also I'd be finding out what their complaints policy is to see if they're up to speed

There is no where near enough information in your post.

Context?

You said it was an accident, how do you come to accidentally throw a shoe?

Do you mean your dd was accidentally hit on the head by a shoe thrown by her key worker?

What were you told?

In the email I sent I said I wanted to know why an accident form wasn't filled out and I also asked for their accident policy. Yesterday (day after accident and day after I had emailed) they wrote up a form and sent it home. It said the keyworker under arm threw the shoe on the floor as it was on the table and it hit my DD's head.

I’d want an acknowledgement of my email and a copy of the accident reporting form they had filled in.
No adult should be throwing shoes around in a childcare setting.

I could imagine a situation perhaps where a child had taken their shoes off leaving them in the way of children playing and staff member threw them to the side of the room....?

You can't accidently throw something.

Either a shoe was accidently dropped/fell on her head or dhe was assaulted.

You need to find out which.

X post. Was there a mark on your DD?

Was she tossing the shoe in her general direction so she could out it on and it hit her? Was she hurt or injured?

There isn’t really enoug context to form an opinion. Was DC hurt? I guess the key word here is ‘accidentally’ as in, there was no malicious intent. It’s not the most sensible thing to do but if there’s no harm done and it wasn’t done on purpose, I can’t say I’d be that particularly het up about it.

X post. So the shoe was somewhere it shouldn't have been and she lobbed it out the way and it accidentally hit her?

To be honest that wouldn't bother me. It could happen at home too.

You're still missing out how you found out in the first place?

Sorry for not giving enough detail. I've a migraine today and I'm obviously not thinking!

So the key worker told my husband this when he collected. There wasn't a mark on her head and on the form it doesn't say the exact location.

was it a child's shoe? She was, carelessly to be sure, tidying away a stray shoe? In which case, it was an accident, yes, a form should have been filled out but it's not the end of the world.

Is she actually hurt? By your description it sounds like a short and soft kind of Chuck with a small person's little shoe. I can't imagine that causing any damage, more of just a shock to your daughter.

It was another child's shoe he had seen on the table and threw it across on to the floor but it hit my DD instead.

Then, with that further info, o wouldn’t be bothered at all. Call me a mean Mum but there’s not a lot to complain about there. You’ve had 2 explanations of what happened now and she’s not hurt or has a mark/bruise.

Hope your migraine shifts soon

As i understand the key worker threw the shoe as it was on the table - this shoe throwing was on purpose to move the shoe.

OP's DD was hit by the shoe which was accidental as the key worker was not aiming for her purposefully.

Accidents happen at home, at nursery, anywhere really. It is part and parcel of life.

Op hasn't said if her DD was injured in any way?

In nurseries you always teach the kids not to throw for the very reason it could hit another child and hurt them. I don't think he was a good example of this.

Sorry i see now you say she was uninjured.

Let it go.
