To think Nursery have been a bit dramatic sending DS home today

So the last few weeks have been a bit hellish with DS (19mo) catching illness after illness. He's missed a lot of nursery and DH and I a lot of work. However, we are sensible and will not send him to nursery if he is sick in any way.

He had a bug a week ago, lasted about 3 days. Since then, has been generally fine, bit cranky and a little off his food. Sunday and Monday he has bounced back to his normal self, eating much more, sleeping well, no temp and no D&V since Fri night. Thought, great, he's well enough for Nursery today.

Dropped him off at 8am, he was smiling and happy, and I warned them at the door not to be alarmed at the colour of his dirty nappies as all he's been living off while he was poorly was yoghurt as it's all he would eat. Fast forward to 10:30am - phone call from the Nursery to say he was being sent home immediately and cannot come back for the rest of the week as "it's not diarrhea but they didn't like the look of his nappy and he has been a little cranky".

DH went to pick him up and he's now at home apparently running about the house.

AIBU to think they've been a bit over dramatic here? This is becoming quite the regular thing where they seem to send him home over the smallest things when he is not at all poorly 😣

@pag2020 I had this! I saw the manager and threatened to move my little one, and it stopped, now they barely ever call. The nursery was struggling financially already though, I don’t know if it would work in a busier nursery who didn’t need your custom.
