babies wearing jewellry in nursery

[decidedlydizzy]

My daughter starts nursery in a few weeks. Her brother is already there and I am really happy with the provision. However, at her first settling in visit, another baby there was wearing alot of jewellry and I am now getting concerned that it could be a safety issue, not only for that baby but for other babies.
A staff member said she had mentioned it to mum, but was told the jewellry is "cultural".
I am inclined to raise with my daughter's key worker, but was curious to know if any had any experience of this or your views?

oh, lord, don't ask for peoples views this week...

I once 'met' a 14 mnth old with two soverign rings and a gold chain (was also wearing a full England strip). I was a bit at the thought of those chubby little fingers being pulled off in some toddler accident. I can't imagine how the jewelery of another child could harm yours though, is it sharp? It's probably a matter for the nursery to raise with the other family on grounds of the safety of their child. I'm sure yours is relatively safe from jewelery related injury.

Well, I am worried that the studded earings are sharp, yes. If they fell out? And if bracelets broke Or maybe babies might pick up and try to eat? I was told it was not policy to allow children to wear jewellry, so surely then the nursery have this policy for a reason?
Tahnks for your comments though, I am interested to see if I'm worrying over a small risk.

my dts used to have chains for cultural reasons. I wouldn't have sent them to nursery in it though, since I didn't ever let them sleep in them. Once they got older they kept yanking htem off anyway so they don't even have them now.
I wonder if the nursery won't put their foot down for fear of attack. After all, you've only got to see allt he recent publicity regardng culture and what they can wear.
There is a definite risk too, that the other baby might start pulling it off, and other's will be chewing on it, so I think the issue does need sorting.

Chavtastic!

agree, little ones look so hideous in bling.

Yes it's true YP, I couldn't quite hide my horror amazement. The mother thought I was keen and told me she got them from Index (whatever that is). Dizzy, sorry wasn't trying to make you feel like you were worrying unecessarily. I think there probably is less risk to your LO but there is still a risk and you should mention it if you're not happy. Dread to think what could happen to the lo wearing it though.
