To be fuming that DD didn't get her lunch

I can't believe how a member of staff thought that the best way to deal with one mother's oversight in not giving her child a packed lunch was to make another child share theirs with no supervision. Is crazy, but at least the manager realised that.
This was a problem with adults, not with the children so having a chat with the child who shared their lunch would have been futile, and anyway it would have destroyed her happy feeling that she was being kind by sharing.

I would have been fuming too. We pay alot for good childcare and expect our children to be cared for.

Even if this was the only way that they keyworker thought she could cope with the problem, she should have had the sense to share the food out evenly, and not leave it to two three year olds to sort out!!

I am glad that the nursery manager took the incident seriously, and I hope that your dd is none the worse for it. As others have said, you clearly do have a very nice and kind dd.

An apology: at 5.30 this morning as I tried to get ds2 to go back to sleep, I thought: did I really post that? I'm sorry, don't know what I was thinking.

So now it's clear where your daughter gets her kindness from...
