To be annoyed

[Rosebel]

DS was at nursery today. At pick up his key worker said he'd been a bit whingy especially later in the evening, not wanting to stay outside having tantrums if he wasn't being cuddled.
Anyway I said after this was there a, reason he was soaking wet. His trousers were really wet. They said he'd been crawling round in the garden on wet grass and sitting on it. Bit annoying but no big deal.
Got home and have just put him in the bath. All he had on top was a fairly thin jumper. His spare long sleeve top still in his bag. One layer in this weather? No wonder he was whingy. I assume they put his coat on outside but even so.
Would you say something (especially if you work there)? Not complaining but asking if they can put a top on too.
YABU it's fine
YANBU ask them to dress him more warmly

If he had a coat on then it's fine really. But equally you are not being unreasonable to ask them to keep an under layer on your child. I'd mention it.

I’d remind them politely about his top tomorrow morning in a ‘just so you know his warm top is in here if he goes outside in this chilly weather’.

I put my 4 yo ds in a vest and long sleeved top and take his coat for when they go outside. Maybe put more layers on to start? But do say when he got home he was wet and cold and a warm bath cheered him up, might be enough of a hint!

How old is he? Could he have put his own top on? If it's a busy nursery maybe they don't have time to check everyone's bags for spare clothes and dress them all then undress them all when they go back indoors. I would think as long as he had a warm jacket on that's fine.

He's 2 with development delay. When I took him in he had a top, jumper and coat on. The top he originally had on was dirty so they'd taken it off but just put his jumper on.
I totally get they are busy but at the same time we're paying a lot of money.
Might mention it in a round about way like suggesting saying he was happier after his bath (and he was).

I think its totally and absolutely fine to mention it. And theres no problem being direct about it too. At the end of the day, you are your childs advocate and if you think he wasnt wrapped up warm enough, its 100% fine to come out with it. I certainly would say something.

Sounds like he needs a change of trousers if anything. No wonder he didn't want to go outside again and was trying to get comfort. Poor boy.

I’d mention it. My DS is 2.5 with ASD and he would be ‘whingy’ if he was cold because he can’t verbalise is to them so they need to be on it with stuff like that.
We also pay a lot of money, we purposely picked an expensive nursery who promise a lot in terms of attentive staff and high quality care, so I’d mention this in a heartbeat!

Where do you live? It's not one layer if he had his coat on and where I am my 3 year old was fine in a t shirt and jumper (no coat) today.

But no, I don't think you'd be unreasonable to mention it if you're concerned. To be honest, the really wet trousers would bother me more. DD's nursery would have changed her out of those.

I don't know if he had his coat on but it was dry and if he'd been crawling round I assume the sleeves at least would be wet. I'm not quite sure why they didn't tell him to walk as he's been walking for two months but that's past now.
