My DD is 2.5 and she goes to nursery three days a week. She absolutely loves it. Skips in in the morning quite happily, asks to go on her days off. It's a great nursery and I'd recommend them to anyone.
I heard from one of the other mums that there is some hitting going on in DDs room among the boys, but that it was being very swiftly and properly dealt with by the nursery. The mum I spoke to was quite happy with how the nursery are dealing with it.
Tonight I picked up DD and when we got home she told me that a boy in her class had hit her across the head. Her speech is very good but as she is only two, she isn't outstandingly articulate so I asked her some easy questions to try to ascertain what had happened. I said was he just playing, she said no. I said was it an accident, she said no. I asked if she told anyone, she said yes, Louise (her key worker, not her real name). I asked her if Louise spoke to the boy and she said "I don't know". I told her she did the right thing telling Louise and me, and that that's exactly what to do if it happens again.
She was neither up nor down about it, btw. She didn't seem upset at all. Just matter-of-fact.
I'm not sure if I need to do anything. I feel like if this happened then it should have been mentioned at pickup - should it? Or is this just something toddlers do and it's not a big deal? If I go in tomorrow and (nicely) ask if this actually happened, will I be that parent? I'm really not sure!
