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 I've withdrawn him from the school.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?

If you can't answer the question specifically please don't populate this post unnecessarily and keep your personal opinions to yourself as they are not wanted.

If you don't want comments that you don't like, then don't post on public forum

And you believed him? That two separate members of staff would assault a child and risk their jobs?

Speak to the nursery. I'd bet a million quid no one hit ur kid.

Well that’s obviously very different.

One is in an establishment with other members of staff, lots of other children, usually CCTV, trained individuals and regularly checked by outdoor agencies.

The other is complete opposite.

Of course abuse can happen in a childcare setting but to act like a child saying a parent hit them vs a staff member hit them and threw them, is vastly different and to suggest otherwise is just stupid.

Stop trying to stir things.

If you RTFT you’ll see numerous posts from people giving examples of when their child lied.

If OP genuinely thinks her child has been assaulted, she does not need you being a dick and trying to wind her up.

Threw him is most likely to mean he was being a little shit and endangering himself or others and had to be suddenly lifted up and away from what he was doing.

That they hit him is most likely a reverse and he was hitting another child or lashing out at staff.

Maybe they had a toddler throwing contest? Guess it breaks the day up.

I was once accused of dragging a child around the playground by her hair, her mother came in all guns blazing, demanding I be sacked immediately. Luckily for me another teacher had witnessed me trying to extricate the child’s ponytail from her back pack straps.

All children should be believed. There was a case near me of a teacher hitting a pupil and she was sacked, it does happen!

My 3 yo ran up to her sister and kicked her then came running to me crying claiming sister had kicked her. I was in the room the whole time and saw everything.

Talk to the nursery

This!

Ofsted wouldn't take any action without actual evidence of an incident.
The words of a toddler isn't gong to be considered evidence.

Was there any physical signs of injury to back up what your toddler said?
And why are you not discussing this with the nursery management, as is the usual process with any safeguarding concern.

Seems you just like to create drama and get attention OP - as 'Teacher hit me" your post title would suggest.

As others have said, he's new to language. He could easily be getting his sentences mixed up - he hit another child, or he hit the nursery teacher.

Could there have been an accidental incident? Something minor for which nursery worker will likely have apologised and not necessarily deemed it reportable and moved on but three year old may not have understood the situation (they’re not massively known for being logical/having good grasp on reality) and passed on ‘their take’?

I think you need to speak to the nursery manager before escalating! The nursery may have CCTV…

A child once told me a ghost had cut their hair (that they hadn't done it themselves). Another child told their parent I give them a big slice of chocolate cake every afternoon. Withdraw them if you don't trust them though.

Well, you don't sound much older than toddler age yourself, God love you.
Must make life so difficult.

You’re going to look very silly if you don’t at least talk to the staff and ask them what happened before making a formal complaint.

Do you really think it likely that TWO members of staff assaulted your child and then lifted him up and threw him? 🫣

I had an incident with a nursery and when I spoke to my health visitor about reporting the issue to OFSTED & social services, the health visitor let slip that it would lead to my own parenting being investigated also, as a matter of procedure, even though the issue was with the nursery's neglect! So even though I've nothing at all to hide, I really couldn't face the interrogation so I just left it. (Unlike OP, my issue was something I actually witnessed so I wasn't just going on a 3yr Old's word!) It felt very much like a deterrent

Grow up! You categorically CANNOT behave like this and be a parent. You cannot.

I don't think you can specify exactly the type of answers you want, in relation to which pieces of information you have given. People are always going to address your post as a whole. Personal opinions are pretty much all MN is about, so you might be better off on Google if that's not what you are looking for.

I am sure every caregiver supports their 'babes', just maybe in not the same way as you have deemed necessary this time. Hope you get to the bottom of it though.

I genuinely think we are 5-10 years away from teachers and EY practitioners routinely wearing body cams for their own protection.

Stop being a tw*t @saythatagaintome

@HarrietJet is right- you sound like a toddler.

Kids at 3 get confused with language but can often physically act out events. Ask him to show you what the teachers did.

They will likely have cctv.

Work in a school. These accusations are constant. Which is one reason why we have cctv. With the exception of one occasion the accusations are always proved to be fabrication. On the one occasion where the child was telling the truth the staff member was prosecuted. He went to prison.

If you’re saying it’s been established your 3 year is telling the truth - I don’t believe you are - I would expect both members to be fired and prosecuted. But they won’t be because your kid is clearly making stuff up.

Gosh, what an interesting and measured response from a clearly knowledgeable and experienced parent. 🤔

Just wondering, how would you break both their faces? 🤪
Would you throw them one at a time across the car park and then drive over them with your monster tractor 🚜 or let the tractor handle the face breaking by itself? Would you ensure that other body parts are equally crushed or is that going a wee bit too far in your opinion? 🤷🏻‍♀️
