DD went to a holiday activity club yesterday and had an absolutely brilliant time. It sounds overall as though the children were well looked after so I don't generally have an issue with the level of care.
The age range is 5-12. DD said that all the kids were really nice apart from one child who DD says kept pushing the smallest child over and then put his hands around her neck and hurt her. She demonstrated what she meant and basically this child has held her in a strangling way.
What would you do? If this was nursery or school I'm pretty sure I would have received an incident form but the staff at the club didn't mention it when I picked her up. DD says they were aware that it happened.
I'm concerned that this child could potentially seriously hurt another child and obviously I don't want him to do this again to DD who is going back for a day here and there in the next couple weeks. DD can't remember his name though so I don't even know if it's worth trying to take it up with them. Or is this just the sort of thing that happens at holiday clubs with mixed ages and you either accept that and go with it or not use them.
In every other way the club was impressive with brilliant activities and variety. Food was great and staff seemed nice. They're ofsted registered.
