When I picked up my 3 year old dd from nursery yesterday, one of the teachers came and told me she had fallen in the gym hall and hurt her mouth, one of her teeth was a bit loose, they had a cold compress on it etc etc.
Dd came out with another teacher, blood over her face and crying, the first thing she said was 'she was going in the wrong place' over and over. By this she means another child was in the wrong place and dd fell over her. The accident form said fell over another child whilst running.
At home, when we'd both calmed down, dd explained to me what happened. There are three areas in the hall, one for running in, one for cars and bikes and one for other games, hopscotch, beanbags etc. Dd and two boys were playing tag, a girl with a car went into the running area and dd couldn't stop running and fell over the girl at speed. Dd landed face first on a wooden floor, the other girl was fine.
We went to the dentist yesterday, have to go back in two weeks as the dentist thinks one tooth is not going to reattach itself, and the next two teeth have been pushed along. Every time I look at dd I want to cry, her face is in such a state.
I'm sorry for the long post but what I'm wanting opinions on is whether to complain to the nursery about the accident. I feel it could have been avoided if the children were in the proper sections. In other words I'm unhappy about the supervision. Not sure if it matters but the girl dd fell over has a reputation for not obeying the rules. And I wasn't told exactly what had happened, if dd had just fallen while running I wouldn't be annoyed. Dd has very strong views on right and wrong and is adamant she wouldn't have fell if she wasn't there.
