I got a phonecall from the nursery today saying dd has trapped her finger in the door. she said theres no need to pick her up but half of her nail has come off. I went to pick her up straight away and she was asleep, The incident haooend an hour b4 they rang me and she had only just stopped crying and fallen asleep when they called me. It was obvious she had been hysterical as she was still hicupping in her sleep fr a while after i picked her up. She had trapped it in the hinge side of a fire door which for some reason (they did not have an answer) had not been closed and nobody was watching her then this happened! It looks bed and her finger is very bruised and not half but the whole nail is off. I didn't really know what to do at th
time i just wanted to get her t the hospital. The more i think about it the more i am thinking what an absolute disgrace this is to have happened. My question is what should i do? I do not want to be too OTT with them as i can't really take her out of nursery as the other one's around here are really crap. I feel something needs to be done though. She did assure me that they were looking into buying some saftey things for the doors. too little too late though imo! It had to be my baby that lost her finger nail before anything has been put into place!
What would you do?

oh poor thing, it will grow back eventually
did you sign the accident form?
accidents do happen and no environment can be 100% safe all the time
I would just ask them to make dure thay have a proceedure for closing fire doors and invest in some door covers so it can't happen again

I agree that accidents happen, but the fact a fire door was involved makes it worse.

Why did they take an hour to call you? Your poor girl.
