Nursery workers drinking at lunchtime.

[Brendathedoll]

Had a rare day off yesterday so went for a pub lunch with my sister. In there I saw 2 nursery nurses from my child’s daycare having lunch and they each had a glass of wine. There were also 2 empty glasses in the table but possibly from previous customers. I wasn’t happy but my sister says it’s there lunchtime they don’t get paid for and 2 glasses won’t make any difference. They saw me and looked a bit sheepish but it means I can’t report them anon now. I’m scared if I say something they would treat my child differently. Am I being ott thinkinb they shouldn’t drink while caring for kids?

@llizzie you've forgotten you wouldn't have sent your child to the nursery in the first place ......

Because it was next to a public house

😮

What recrimination could their be? I doubt they'd hurt a child.

Surely you'd find out facts before causing your child unnecessary upset?

Yes I would , I would have to be sceptical and consider the answers but I would certainly ask questions and try to find out what was what first. That would be my first action, but I was thinking about the OP’s situation in which she has decided not to ask any questions. Sorry, bit confusing.

I'd be asking the Manager if they were on duty that day & if they were mention that you saw them in the pub at lunch time drinking alcohol. Say you weren't very happy about it as you put your trust in them to care for your child & this has you doubting their capability. Explain you won't be reporting them to Ofsted, as many others would, because you trust the Manager will have strong words & hopefully it won't happen again.

Literally. But talk about assuming…

“Brendathedoll”?

BrendaTheBusybody more like.

How is it during shift if they are not paid at lunchtime as stated. Why not close to work?

I'm still confused why OP thought the nursery workers would hurt their DC

Jumping to absolute conclusions without all the facts or even anything from the 2 persons themselves How high handed.
