Shouting by nursery staff

[Nabokova]

Hello,
I have witnessed a strange behaviour at the nursery, where they shout uncontrollably at children, I was there working only two weeks but it was impossible and very stressful to see it. I am a mother of two and I am shocked to see those poor children being abused like this. It left me traumatised. They nursery manager is encouraging her staff to do it and covering the abuse up. I fell ill just after 5 days being there. Absolutely disgusting behaviour by the manager and staff. I was wandering if any of you have experienced similar concerns.

IncrediblySadToo I have reported it to the Director of the nursery, I reported it to the highest authority which is The Care Inspectorate who went in and she wants me to provide a physical evidence which I don’t have. I did not expect to see anything like this at the nursery I had no idea what’s really going on the workplaces like this.

Bobismyfriend Absolutely, I am, in the horrible situation. I left traumatized, they were holding me in the office for 40 mins, god know what they wanted from me, I was harassed by the manager in the nursery, and that was because I reported her the abuse by her staff I witnessed. 40 mins in her office her and the other staff who was shouting at me at front of the children, I had no idea why I was held for so long. I reported this to the director of the company and she did not even back to me about this situation but about child abuse they are saying that they investigated everything and nobody seen anything nobody else heard anything. Frightening. I left hopeless

Definitely approach social services LSCB and the police.

Whatever you signed shouldn’t prevent whistleblowing..... safeguarding trumps confidentiality.

Nothing is confidential in safeguarding situations. There are numbers on LSCB and you should have had a whistleblowing policy with the appropriate numbers. There’s also LADO to speak to for advice.

Sure it's been mentioned but council and police need to be told this is abuse

I worked in several nurseries as a teen and twenty something and ALL of them were as you described.
Hence why my DD will never be setting foot in a nursery.

I think you need to tip off the local press and / or say something anonymously on social media. There are parents out there who have a right to know, and children who need to be protected.

Gillian1980 I just spoke to police and they also need a second witness

Plaster it on social media

JorisBonson this what I was told to do by police

absopugginglutely it’s scary, right? The manager is very well aware and acts confident because she knows that it’s two witnesses needed to open an abuse case by police, and it’s just me who was complaining but others are simply scared and feared to loose a job. Massive corruption!

Any chance of contacting panorama?

I feel bad for you and those poor children. I'm sure the parents would have plenty to say if they knew.

Lily2403 the nursery is in Aberdeen, in the west end which is prime location, it’s horrifying what’s actually going on in reality no matter how posh the location is. Parents have no idea, when they were collecting children I simply was amazed that the staff is acting casually like nothing happens during the day. It’s all brushed under the carpet. They feared to loose their job. Corruption in the full bloom.

Ohnoherewego62 this is what’s happening, I raised concerns to the manager regarding shouting at the children and the result of it - I was harassed by the manager, Left traumatized by her doings. The workers are do what they were told and copy her wrongdoings, otherwise they will get harassed too and loose their job, this why children are abuse at nurseries. It’s scary.

Septembersunrays It’s abuse, as a parent myself I can see it, but people who work there they don’t report it, please be aware, I had no idea how bad things are and that the children go through the abusive days at nursery while their parents are working or busy with the me time.

Please report it...you have a moral duty to do so.

roisinagusniamh I will have to try to report it to other authorities because police needs more witnesses and same the care inspectorate
