To think this is a sh*tty way to welcome a toddler?

[LimburgseVlaai]

Dropped dd2 (age 2.6) off at nursery this morning.

Nursery worker: "Hello [dd], are you going to be a good girl and not pull any children off their bikes today?"

Background: On Friday, dd had to be told off for doing just this to another child while trying to get hold of a toy. I explained to her that it was not kind to snatch toys, that she had to ask nicely for a turn, etc. Forgot all about it over the weekend.

Until this morning!

AIBU or is this a shitty way to greet a toddler back after the weekend?

I am not at my best in the mornings so I just goggled at her. But now... but now... GRRRR

dd loves going to nursery, BTW. She was not at all bothered.

Having seen the juxtaposition of my post with janess404's, I think I should point out that by "went ballistic" I actually mean I went home, stewed about it, asked for a meeting with the manager, and (fairly) calmly went through the ways in which I found this particular woman an unacceptable keyworker for my DS.

Hello, back again. Sorry I can only log in at odd times. Again, thank you for your advice and opinions.

When I picked up dd yesterday that particular worker wasn't there. I asked how dd had got on, and another member of staff said she was "Just great, as usual."

Being a total conflict avoider I may leave it for now, but store it in case something happens again. DD isn't back at nursery now until Thursday.

Again, thank you to all.

Glad your dd was great as usual You'd soon know if she wasn't happy there.

Having had a bad and upsetting experience at a childcare facility, I am a bit cynical and would advise you to keep a close eye on the situation. The staff could have been told to say all was fine.
