Hello mumsnetters,
Nursery were using powder paints on Monday. All lots of fun apparently and my 3yr old came out head to toe in green saying he'd turned into the Hulk. He needed a good scrub to get it off and my partner had to gently clean some out of the corner of his eye.
Over the next few days he's developed pink eye and now at nursery pick up his eye is producing green gunk and they've said he can't go back in tomorrow.
Bit of back-story he had gunky eyes for the first year of his life, we had to clean them everyday and the Dr said it was an overactive tear duct. He does tend to get pink eye and gunk with the slightest thing in his eye.
I'm frustrated that we're paying for a day of nursery where they won't let him in because of an activity they've provided. I understand they won't change their policy on discharge of the eyes, though it goes against NHS advice which is that you can continue going to school or work.
So, what would you do? I want to kick up a fuss, I'd really appreciate the day refunded but don't know if I'm being ridiculous?
For context I have two children at nursery and the youngest has only been in 50% of her sessions this year due to the usual nursery illnesses + covid bubble isolations which I was happy to keep her off for.
