In-between Xmas and new year ds 3.5 had an accident where he was trying to carry a box of toys downstairs which was top heavy and he fell and banged his chin quite heavily. No harm done apart from a bump to the chin and a very black bruise just on the tip and under his chin.
He went back to nursery yesterday after the Xmas break (bruise still very visible) and today when I picked him up I was pounced upon by the manager who asked me if I could fill in a firm about how he got the bruise. She was apologetic and said they had to ask etc but I was just wondering if this was normal and run of the mill?
The form was asking questions such as how he did it, what medical treatment I sought etc. I kind of felt like saying it's none of your fucking business. Am I reading more into this?
Something my sister said recently (she works in a school) has made me paranoid somewhat about how schools and nurseries liaise with social services and the fact they have to report stuff like this. Am I overthinking this? Are the nursery just covering their arses by getting parents to fill in these forms?
