Nursery Worker Concern

[Daisy183]

Hi, this evening when I collected my 15 month old daughter I saw her through the glass door as I arrived sat in a teepee. I then watched as one of the nursery clumsily pulled her out of the teepee which made her scream. I rushed over to get her and in shock I did not confront the nursery worker. As soon as she saw me she acted like nothing had happened. There was one other worker in the room and I can't be sure she saw what happened as I'm sure she was looking at me as I came in and my little girl and the other worker were behind. I can't stop thinking what am I going to do. She is already enrolled at another nursery as my office is relocating in October so I was going to ask them if there is space to move her earlier. I can't say her grabbing was very aggressive, but it's not how I would pick her up and I wouldn't have thought it was acceptable. My little girls reaction in screaming tells me its not right. I don't feel comfortable leaving her there anymore. But not sure if I should report this to the nursery manager? Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I meant to say the nursery worker pulled her by the one arm

You need to speak to the nursery manager first thing tomorrow.

Hmm... Pulling by one arm isn’t ok in my opinion either. Agree you need to speak to the manager tomorrow. Are you usually happy with this nursery worker? Does your DD seem to like her etc?

Oh this makes me sad to read 😓
I think your gut instinct is probably the right one, I would speak to the nursery manager, but for peace of mind, move her to the new nursery as soon as you can

Go in and speak to the manager
Rough handling is not acceptable and would result in being disciplined if not sacked

I am so disappointed as she has settled there in the past 2 weeks, started to enjoy it - prior to that she cried at every drop off and pick up. The worker is meant to be her key worker, but she hasn't bonded with her and prefers a different worker. My partner suggested I ask that her key worker be changed but I said its pretty interchangeable, they aren't solely looked after by their key worker. I know another mum who uses the same nursery and I mentioned my daughter didn't seem to like her key worker a few weeks ago and she said her daughter prefers my daughters key worker to her own. So I didn't think anymore of that. I don't think and I hope that she isnt a bad person I think it was clumsy and misjudged and I couldn't work out why she wanted to pull her out of the teepee. But it will play on my mind now that I've only seen literally 2 seconds of what goes on there

What's the update OP?
