Teacher hit me

[AdaUserName92]

So my son just started nursery, he is 3 and this was his settling in week. Everything was going well until the last couple of days he done home and said his teacher and another senior member of staff hislt him and threw him. On those two days he came hone super angry and change in behaviour. I've withdrawn him from the school. Has anyone had such experience and reported to ofsted and safeguarding bodies? What was the outcome?

Presumably if he was hit by two teachers and thrown (by one or by two?), there will be some bruising or other injuries. Take photos and you can show them to the nursery when you get their version of events.
Or were you planning to anonymously report them to Ofsted? I think they will need more than the word of your 3-year old.

Nobody's saying that. They're saying that the odds that two separate members of staff, on the same day, hit and threw a child are vanishingly small. One staff member hit a child: entirely possible. Two hit and threw? Doubt it.

OP should speak to the nursery. But I doubt very much the truth will turn out to resemble the 3yo's story on this occasion.

My DD now 7 used to come home every day from nursery and say she'd had grapes for snack. She was adamant every day that grapes were on the menu alongside olives. So believable in manner but oh so not true!( As we had a written list of possible snacks for alternative weeks and neither of those items was on it!)

Can I just point out that as a teacher, it is really awful to have unfounded allegations made against you. It's awful and it really impacts on how you fell about your career. However, allegations do need to be investigated. You should speak to the nursery though rather taking the word of a toddler and ruining someone's career.

The nursery should report any allegation to the LADO Local Authority Designated Officer . However, you can do this as a parent. They will make contact with nursery and if threshold met, they will hold a managing allegations meeting.

The first person to contact if you believe this has happened would be the LADO (Local Authority Designated Officer) who is responsible for looking into allegations against those who work with children. If you search LADO and your local authority then their contact details should come up.

Why is the title Teacher hit me? I’m confused. Nursery workers hit my son? Why is the first post written so badly compared to the second!?

Why are you asking what the outcome has been for others, surely it’s different for each case.

Who did you report it to?

What have they said?

Are they dismissing your concerns?

Surely the first person should be the manager of the nursery?

Surely you would phone the police if you believe your child has been assaulted by two members of staff at nursery!

Completely agree.

You're about to label and launch an investigation on someone being a child abuser from an incredibly unreliable source, a 3 year old boy.

Do better OP.

Teachers do it all the time the other way round if the child said parent had hit them 🤷‍♀️

I see the op hasn't returned to the thread.

Please speak to the nursery first op. My son came home and told me he had been starved all day, taken into a room by himself and had photographs taken of him. I asked his nursery teacher and she showed me a photo of him sitting with all his classmates around a Chinese buffet they had put on for Chinese New Year. He was munching on a pancake roll in the photo.

It's hard to answer your question without knowing what the nursery's stance is on this. I would have spoken to them first before making a hasty decision based on what a 3 year old has told me. I find it hard to believe given the guidelines they have to follow and going through regular ofsted checks, that a worker would hit and throw a child. 3 year olds have a very vivid imagination and if he had been told off for something then he could have turned it around on the nursery as upset at been told off. I would speak to the nursery so you have a balanced account of what really happened.

Click bait.

goady, click bait tosh

Son when he was 3 told everyone his dad was Chinese. He’s not, he’s white British. He also told people that someone stole our bbq and I chased them down the road with a hammer. He was so convincing my MiL told me off for confronting the nasty men!

AND THREW HIM 😂

And then all the dinosaurs clapped

Yes my Ds came home said he had eaten nothing at nursery .
Tell him I am going to phone nursery to check -ok
I phone the nursery - assistant manager answers phone oh yes he sat next to me at lunch.. He had seconds..

me to Ds … *** says you had whatever for lunch and had seconds .. reply .. oh yeah the tale continues he had morning snack too .

I apologise and get off the phone as soon as I can..

ass no marks , not questioning the nursery .. Ofsted will bat this away.. as they should follow the complaints procedure if you have raised that child that you haven’t yet discovered doesn’t always tell the factual turn of events.

I also did fire practice with young children when I was a childminder .. one parent phoned said her son said there had been a fire and there had been fire engines / firemen … tbh I was grateful parent phoned rather than worrying her child had been in a fire .

Have you spoken to them? Rarely things do happen but mostly children do exaggerate, they may even do it with you and go into school and tell teacher you have hit them when you haven't as there maybe a perfectly innocent explanation.

What will you do when he says the same thing at a new nursery and then school.

It’s unusual to lie at that age. OP I’d be furious… not sure I could hold
back from breaking both their faces 😱

Have you spoke to the staff?
I work in a school and children tell all kinds of tales. I once comforted a small child all day because they told me their grandparent had died over the weekend. Then said grandparent picked them up from school that day!! You really need to work with the school before throwing accusations around. Throwing a child? Really? Threw them where?
