To stop sending my child to nursery cause they allow him outside

[O8O818]

here me out, I hope I'm not being PFB but I am so fed up with my child's nursery. Time and time again I've said he is not to be outside, but nobody listens! Each day he comes home caked in mud, all up his back, caked on his shoes, not wearing any gloves or a hat, some times not even wearing his wellies just his indoor shoes! Its Baltic. On Friday I went to collect him and they said he was outside making hot chocolate... with the mud he was rolling around like a pig in shit but he was covered from head to toe, in his hair, his ears, his back from when another kid through a mudball at him I don't know whether I'm overreacting though? Aibu!!

It's an OFSTED requirement. Children have to be outside for a certain amount of time everyday in nurseries. This is dictated to them.

Look into the benefits of forest schools and you'll soon rethink your crazy ideas of keeping your child indoors. You're actually damaging your kid by insisting they stay in.

YABVVVVVU. And completely ridiculous.

Sorry just read further down the thread and seen you have said he is out there alone - this is a big warning sign from me! I also work in a nursery - there is no way a child should be outside alone!! Even if there is 1 child in our garden someone stays out, or common sense to shut the door for a while and bring them in. When it's very cold we go out in short bursts - again like I said not all children want to wear their coats etc and when they are running round they do get hot so common sense if they look cold we will send them in.

The OP is in Scotland, no Ofsted there. Besides children are supposed to be supervised. I can't imagine Ofsted would be impressed at an under 3 outside rolling in mud alone and unsupervised in unsuitable clothes. Especially when the parent has provided suitable clothing.

Lweji

Pass that bottle this way when you are done.

I'd be glad he is getting muddy etc in nursery and I don't have to do it at home ha ha!

You'll have to find your own. The supermarket across the road is now closed and I'm already out of wine.

Have some

Mud, the outdoors and children are great
YABU OP.

Sorry, couldnt resist!

Been following this thread and it's infuriating to put it mildly.

Why do people only read the very first post and feel that after 23 pages of (presumably YABU posts as that's what the OP's initial post suggested), they need to write another one saying exactly the same? FFS

For the beer fans.

Thanks, but I'll pass.
I'm saving myself for hazeyjane's crocheted crack pipe. ..

Here you go.

(Technically a crocheted bong....but it turns out, you can't find everything on the internet...)

Much appreciated. I'll make sure I pass it around!
Far more enjoyable than just unfollowing this thread!

I’ve read the thread and you have quite a number of genuinely serious concerns that need to be addressed as a matter of priority. Get these down in writing. Did you keep any contemporaneous notes (even texts or IMs to your partner/friends)? Bad then I’d arrange a meeting with the owner/senior manager immediately. There’s clearly negligence here and it needs to be addressed now.

but...its not a unicorn bong.

It turns out you can find anything on the interweb.

Lordy. Modern life is truly incredible. Who knew such wonders existed.

Reading your later posts I am very concerned when you say that he is alone outside, without even an adult to supervise. This sounds totally wrong, and illegal, how do you know that this definitely happens? If it really does, then yes, remove your child immediately, and complain to both your local council, and social services!

Can't believe I'm still reading inane replies to this thread - picked the wrong week to give up the booze

I've read the first and last page and can only add...

I'm more miffed when my daughter comes home clean 😂

Arrrrggggghhhhh...

Speak to the owner/manager of the nursery and discuss with them. He should be playing outside but if you give them protective clothing they should use it!!

Why do people always complain that others don’t read all the post? I don’t have time to read every post so just read a few normally but I still like to contribute if I feel the need, mainly based on the first few posts of the op. Don’t know why people get rattled by this, it’s a free country!!
