dd's (18mo) nails painted at nursery!?

[ishopthereforeiam]

I love her nursery and the carers but v pissed off they have painted her nails today. She's only 18mo and I don't think she's old enough. Shouldn't they ask before doing that sort of thing?

I would complain but think her key carer is already in some trouble and I like her and don't want to make things worse for her.

WWYD?

YANBU.

she's too young to understand that she has to keep them out of her mouth.

I used to paint DS's fingernails when he was about 3, he loved it. I didn't think about the feminist implications. I hope i don't when it comes to DD's turn either.

And it's completely unprofessional.

Iv only now started allowing my 8yr old to have her nails painted. And then its only every once in a while mayb if shes there when im doing mine or if she has a party n asks for them painted. Its taken off a day or two later.

I sometimes feel like im a bore coz a lot of her friends wear make up (a lot) and if she gets make up as a present it goes straight in the bin. (Dont know why ud buy a child make up).

I would talk to key worker and ask it not to happen again.

Ask to see the risk assessment for using nail varnish with under twos.

I'm a nursery nurse and don't know any nursery that would allow this to happen.
If it was my child, I would be furious and would make a formal complaint.

The toxic issue is one that I mentioned and specifically that she will put her hands in her mouth, eyes etc all the time so can't see how it would dry.

I think one carer in particular did it without others knowing as the key carer and room leader only found out after it had happened (and thought I had put it on dd!)...

Just weird how they singled dd out as they said no other children had it on... am not sure if it is because dd is particularly outgoing and chatty (for an 18 mo) and likes to spend time with the carers rather than other children so perhaps they got carried away with her...

Either way I don't expect it to happen again! I wound myself up so much I couldn't sleep til 3am.

I would be livid. LIVID. How dare they paint on your child? She's not for their entertainment. And at that age they didn't do it for hers.

What next? They want to try out some new mascara on her?
