Am I wrong to be getting upset?

[TomKett]

Dropped my children off at nursery today, went into the oldest room (age 3 - school age) and discovered they have a play shop set up. This shop is a pharmacy, and included at least 25 different 'real' drug packets and bottles.

Yes I can see where you are coming from. Maybe you can mention to the Nursery manager that you find it a bit risky to let children play with medication packages.

Madness in my opinion, I would call nursery manager (am a nursery manager by the way)

Thanks for your replies, I also posted this in the 'am I being unreasonable' topic area. Had a lot more comments.

I did mention it to the manager today, will wait and see if action has been taken!

It is part of using real objects as part of play as long as they have no medication in them any more there is no problem

its a method of play development i dont understand why you are worried and why you want any action taken?

I would have no issues - unless there were syringes, medication in them or if there was actual medication - but in this case these are boxes that haven't actually touched the medication.

Although I can see the mixed messages - you don't see children who have had role play hairdressers cutting hair, cooking meals on your oven after role playing restaurants or trying to fix a car after playing in the garage.

Let us know what the manager said though.
