Manager shouting at staff

[typhootea]

I went to drop off my DD who's 4 this morning and after I arrived in the room and was about to hand over, the manager came in and shouted at the 2 members of staff. She didn't give them a chance to reply and then stormed off in a huff.

The staff members became upset and there were about 6 other children as well as DD in the room. My DD was a bit shook but the staff members tried to compose themselves and then took DD and tried to behave normally.

Do you think this Is a safeguarding issue I should take up with the owner?

Yes absolutely. Children should not be witnessing that, I would put in a formal complaint. I used to work at a nursery like that except it was the owner who shouted at staff and it was awful in terms of staff morale and motivation.

Does it come under safeguarding?

Not sure what it comes under but I wouldn't be happy / the staff should be role models

Contact the head office

I think it comes under not being a shit manager.

I would definitely bring it up ..

I worked in a nursery where a member of staff continually shouted at me ( I was training and she thought he she was better than everyone else) I would go home every day and cry because how she treated me and how she was!

I am now in another nursery, fully trained and love it!

She should not be shouting in front of the children, disgusting! Definitely make a complaint.
