nursery incident

For the 2nd time in a week my dd has had injuries caused by another child (same child on both occasions). The first was a big bite mark which left a large bruise on her shoulder. The second was a gash on her head that happened when the child hit her with a toy frying pan.

We know these things happen, and frankly I feel bad for the parents as I would be really upset if the tables were reversed and my dd had done the same. However I obviously mostly feel bad for my dd. The nursery are amazing, and always do the relevant safeguarding etc. Like I said, I realise these things happen, but wibu unreasonable to have a chat with nursery? I'm not really sure what they could do though.

I would definitely raise it. Had similar issues when my DD was 18 months being bitten by a "repeat offender" whose biting had resulted in other kids being withdrawn from the nursery, it was well known there was an issue. I told them I knew who it was and that they needed to sort it. They said he had been on 1:1 supervision and recently been taken off it. I insisted he went on 1:1 and was not allowed anywhere near my daughter. At the time I had two kids at nursery and was paying them £10k a year to keep my children safe. I completely understand the odd little bite but when it's a regular occurrence and drawing blood there is a serious issue. In nursey's defence I believe they were trying to help and support the other child and believed there were behaviour issues however ultimately my duty is to my child to be kept safe.
