Have I overreacted ? - Nursery

[sre123]

My old 10 month old daughter came home with this scratch today. Pic attached.

This is the 3rd time she's been attacked by the same child. I always have to ask the nursery workers directly if she's been "attacked" (for the lack of a better word, I don't want to sound overdramatic) They give me an accident form, but never tell me directly what happened. Only when I dig further they tell me what happened.

I have now fired off an email to the nursery manager and asked them to supervise the children's interactions more closely so that this won't happen again.

Have I overreacted?

It’s not something you have written anywhere, but the safety of the other children comes first. I have had a couple of under twos that would constantly bite and scratch other kids. They could not be near another child.

Definitely not over reacting. I think I would just leave it to air, I don’t think it’ll scar. Your poor daughter though! I’d be keeping a close eye on the nursery. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again. ‘Its developmental’ makes no sense and isn’t accurate, it’s not a developmental stage for a 1 year old to deeply scratch the face of another baby. Stay vigilant OP.

I would find another nursery. Or the child who attacked your child should be told to leave. A nursery has to be a safe place.
