hi, I posted a couple of weeks ago that my 6 year old had been smacked on the face on 2 occasions over 2 days at his afterschool club. The first time, the boy adamently denied doing it, the second time there was a mark and the boy admitted it. The parents were told by the afterschool carers.

This week my boy has told me he's been smacked on the face again in playtime - resulting in him crying and an older girl taking care of him. He was still crying when he went back in to school and told his supply teacher what had happened.

This boy has also smacked and pushed other children.

Am I right to ask for appointment with my boys teacher. I don't know what the school will do, at the very least I want them in separate registration classes next year(although they will probably be in the same maths/language classes as they are of the same ability).

The bully has previously verbally said not nice things, ie, so and so isn't your friend anymore and I've told my boy to ignore him, but I feel its reached another level now.

Advice please!!!!

Do the nursery have groups and leaders - maybe you could ask for them to be in a different group. Is it a private nursery or a school nursery?

I'll let you know what our teacher says. Thankfully my sons dad is coming with me to support me.

Well, we met with the teacher who was very supportive.

She's going to speak to the boy tomorrow and tell him she's not happy with him and that we've been in to see her. She also spoke with his language and maths teachers whilst we there and asked for my son and the other boy to be on separate tables. She also went to speak to afterschool to ask them to keep an eye out for more trouble.

She's asked my son to let her know if there's any more trouble and asked him to stay away from the boy and not play with him.

I also requested that they're in separate registration classes next year.

We'll see how it goes.

Good you got some constructive support!
We also had another good day with DD coming home saying "X didn't hit me today!"
Unfortunately the kids are in groups by age and there is only one group for her age. Also as there is a mega-shortage of nursery/preschool places where we live (not in the UK) I have no chance of moving her and it's unlikely the other little girl will get moved. They are likely to be together for the next 3 years at least (kids start school here at 7)! But I am optimistic that she will grow out of it...

Felt for my boy today, he really didn't want to go school and was very clingy (he's never normally like that), I imagine 'cos he knew the other boy would be talked to today. Fingers crossed all goes well.

Fingers crossed the girl will grow out of it - if she's told enough times its wrong that is. She's still young.
