To not be angry with nursery?

[Yellowpolkadot]

Dd (1) is a climber, she can’t walk yet but can already climb out of her cot (as low as it can go).

She was at nursery today and has climbed up on to the play kitchen, stood up and fallen off, hitting her head on the floor. She’s was sick immediately after and was pretty sleepy so nursery called and I took her to hospital to get checked over.

DH and DM think I should put a complaint into the nursery owners saying she mustn’t have been being supervised well enough. Personally I think she is just a bit of an escape artist and a rapid climber, it’s one of those things and she’s been given the all clear.

For clarity nursery have been brilliant with her since she started and we have been extremely happy with them to this point

Who’s being unreasonable?

I would hope the nursery discussed/discusses it with you and produces a new/amended risk assessment acknowledging your DD is a climber and how they plan to monitor the situation in future

If they dont then think about your actions then

They should take it seriously and address it

Sounds like our daughter. She's a nightmare fast climber. I wouldn't be angry either.

I agree with @KatyMac I wouldn't be angry (my child is chaos personified) but I would want to be reassured that they've taken the incident seriously and will take steps to make sure nothing like that happens again

Agree with PP, accidents can happen, it's how they respond to them that's important- are they open and honest and apologetic and what are they going to do going forward?

I wouldn't be angry in those circumstances either

My daughter had a bad accident at nursery. The way they dealt with it made me trust that it was just a pure accident and they couldn’t have done anything different. You’ll have a sense of whether they are reacting as you’d hope. We had no doubt about her continuing. In your case, I would have some questions about supervision in the baby room. How they respond to those questions should help make your mind up.

Mine notified ofsted immediately and had a risk assessment sorted ASAP to discuss how they would manage her return and whether there were any changes that needed to happen. They were upset but open and honest, I’d have run a mile if they’d have been defensive.

Thanks all, @userzzzzzz I hope your DD made a swift recovery.

The way they were when I picked DD up was brilliant, they had clearly been monitoring DD very closely and even offered for a member of staff to travel to the hospital with us to keep an eye on DD in the back of the car.

The manager has called this evening to check in and see how DD is and has asked us if it’s ok to call tomorrow just to touch base.

I think they were a little shook up and as I’ve said DD is an escape artist so in a sense it really doesn’t surprise me this has happened. I guess we will just ask for a meeting when we are ready for DD to go back just to check in with them.

Tell DH and DM that you'll make a complaint to nursery if the two of them are happy with you calling social services if DD ever has an accident with either of them!

My son is 14 months and exactly the same I wouldn’t be annoyed it could of easily happened anywhere
