Not to send her?

Morning!
We had a nursery settling hour for dd where we stayed to fill in paper work (in same room). The nursery nurse who spoke to us was lovely and had a friendly relationship with the children. However, the toys were so old and just seemed grubby, another nursery nurse was in the room and didn't say a word, to us or to any of the children. They were just snatching toys off each other and seemed bored in a small room. Another child from another room squeezed and scratched dd's face over the gate and no members of staff noticed. I appreciate these things can happen but due to ratios and size of the room I just don't know how it went unnoticed, I know I wouldn't be happy if I had gone to pick her up and nobody knew how her face had been scratched. Am I being too precious? She was previously in another nursery for a year and is almost 2. I'm due to have dc2 next month so wanted her to keep a familiar routine, she's pretty feisty and independent so I wanted her to continue with a few days a week. Really struggling to find a nursery place in our area.

No, don't send her if you aren't happy with it. My youngest dd spent 2 years in a nursery which I regret sending her to. It's really important to find the right place. Do you have any nurseries that are attached to schools where you live?

I don't think YABU. It doesn't sound like the sort of place you would be happy leaving your dd. Old toys are ok as long as they are safe but there's no excuse for them being grubby and it would make me wonder about other hygiene practices.

No if they aren't even on best behaviour when you are there!

Thank you for replies. I thought I was being a bit pfb but I just got a bad feeling so think will go with instinct! Not sure how I'm going to tell them though.

Tell them straight. Any good business will appreciate honest feedback, good or bad, and it might help the kids that got there.
