What I don't understand why did they leave with out a explanation personally just staff saying we have no clue and shrugging shoulders would not be good enough and certainly would not wash with me
you know you didn't send them to school like that.
and also why the frigg didn't the nursery take the child to hospital it's actually outrageous poor girls fingers look awful

They did get an explanation. They were told she had been sucking her fingers. It wasn't until the injury got worse a day or so later and they took their DD to hospital that the situation took a more serious turn.

Why are trying to find fault with these parents?

Why is a nursery nurse sending her child to a nursery?

BackforGood · 11/04/2014 17:08

why on earth not, Estdulwich ? Confused

Presumably so she can go to work the same as everybody else who uses a nursery

i know at some nurserys they won't let staff's children attend so maybe she has to go to a different one?

Might they be sucking blisters which have got infected?

I'm no nursery expert but there's not usually many possible places a baby/toddler could burn their fingers. Food wasn't hot enough, a child would have moved their fingers off a radiator. They've looked for a week in the nursery trying to see if there's anything else which could have caused it and said no.

Years ago on MN someone's child had bad sucking blisters and I think they were at the Drs for something else and the Dr reckoned the blisters were burns and it kicked off.

Not as severe but my son came home from his nursery with a blister burn on his thumb at 18 months old. After much investigation we came to the conclusion that he had burnt it on a metal toy trumpet that had been left out in the sun and got very hot. There was simply nothing else he could have done it on but no-one noticed at the time.

Those burns look very nasty, poor little girl.

I think the nursery knew every well what happend keep quit and hoped nothing would come it it

Which is really bad then shat themselfs when ss got involved and fessed up

That looks awful . Reminds me of blisters we got once from Giant Hogweed . Think that's what the plants called .
Is the nursery still open ?

YABU The parents acted entirely appropriately, as did the hospital staff. The ones who have not done right by the little girl are the nursery and the council who don't see particularly bothered that those caring for her cannot account for injury.
