to be a bit cross with DS's nursery??

[tryingtobemarypoppins]

After our Tripp Trapp incident yesterday I was a bit anxious about nursery today as DS often comes home with extra bumps! I asked them to keep a close eye on him today.

I phoned twice and he was fine.

On arriving the nursery was in maddness. Babies everywhere all trying to climb on 1 small climbing frame. I counted 3 possibly 4 staff and about 15 under 3's......this can't be right can it????

He had a massive lump between his eye and nose, and they didn't know how it happened! I asked when I signed the accident book if they were under staffed today, to which they said "no just busy, really sorry". I wasn't too worried as these things happen but when we got home and into the bath I found twist like marks on his wrists.......look very red and sore.

Not a happy mummy tonight! I have a few niggles about the nursery. AIBU?? Should I wait till next week (he only goes once a week) or phone tomorrow??

staff dont have to be in the room? and can still e counted

and 1 adult to under 2/s - so tech 1 adult could be looking after 3 babies of 4/6mths?

i would be so at your nursery and you def need to speak face to face with manager TODAY

if you leave it till next time then the staff are unlikely to take your story seriously, and they should

all children do bump their heads, the amount of times i sign the accident book at 3yrs, but least they tell me how and why he bumped it

but red marks on wrists would def send warning sounds to me

it does sound like you are not 100% happy with the care your child is getting and that means to me find new childcare

Just to say I phoned the manager today to arrange to come in and talk however she is on hoilday until Tuesday - the day he is due to go back. Your responses have made me more worried. I thought a child had made the marks but either way the supervision worries me greatly. I have got a place at a new nursery from 2 1/2 but he is only 17 months so we are a long way off that.

is the nursery part of a chain or independent? if it's part of a chain then phone them in the manager's absence.

Take photos of the marks.

I would be worried and if your gut instinct is worry then I would take him out. DC's nursery is fab, and you get a very happy vibe from all staff and children whenever you go in.
