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 I've withdrawn him from the school.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?

I remember speaking to school when my 4 year old told me he sat on his own at break time and he had no one to play with. It turned out he’d sat on the friends bench for all of five minutes and had played with friends the rest of playtime.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Gosh your update makes you sound like a goady tw*t too @AdaUserName92! But in reply to your question- no, I know of no one who's taken their 3YOs word as gospel and withdrawn them from nursery and threatened to take legal action. Good luck contacting agencies to satisfy your need for drama though!

To attempt to make you see sense (not that you will):

Of course it happens but the chances of 2 teachers hitting and throwing a child are pretty slim which is why you talk to the nursery and support your child in understanding what happened. If by any chance it.did happen you also demonstrate the correct way to handle issues ie formally complain not smash them in the face.

I would speak to the manager/owner of the nursery, things like this happen and you should always believe your child.

Obviously, it might not be as described, but in the event that this is a definite safeguarding issue it is best to speak to the nursery first, and if the complaint isn’t resolved then you should complain to Ofsted. That is the official rule for all complaints within nurseries/preschools.

I hope for everyone involved that there is an innocent explanation. As a parent I know this must be a horrible experience for you.

You need to talk to the nursery, OP.

DS has some big feelings, about a wrongness, in the daunting new setting of nursery. As pp suggest, most likely he threw something, and hit someone, and was gently told off for it; and that has morphed into him being hit and thrown by two teachers.

It's a bit much to expect a coherent narrative from a 3 year old in his first few days of kindergarten!

Just choked on my tea reading that 🤣🤣 So funny.

I would not work with kids in any capacity. With many of the mumzillas, you are guilty til proven innocent. And, often, even after. Conversely, their little snowflake would NEVER do wrong and all accusations of bad behavior are lies, regardless of proof. 🙄

These comments are too funny, clapping dinosaurs toddler throwing contests 😂

IF this is real OP put your complaint in writing and ask for a meeting with the nursery manager. Please let us know the outcome of the meeting…

Ask him for details: where did it happen? why did they do it? where did they hit you? what did you say? Didn't anyone say anything? Who saw it?

Then ask him to tell you the details again tomorrow. Pretty sure he'll tell you a different story and you'll know, you just got played by a little boy who wants to stay home with his Mama. Which to be honest, is much the best outcome. Maybe he's not mature enough for school just yet.

First point of call would be to report the allegation to the nursery manager to investigate. If they have CCTV then this can be reviewed, members of staff can be interviewed and so on.

I tried to search up statistics on incidents on teacher violence but cannot seem to find any, however, safeguarding is taken very seriously indeed in education and childcare settings and regular training provided.

You should have phoned MASH. Let the 'experts' investigate.

You need to inform the nursery’s DSL so they can fully investigate. If you don’t feel comfortable telling them, contact the LADO. whilst these things happen rarely they do need investigating. Even if you’ve withdrawn your son, if this is true, other children will be at risk.

I think the truly alarming thing for me is that it is clear by the OP’s response that it never even occurred to her to question the outrageous story her three year-old had come up with. How does a grown adult go through life and become a parent without having the common sense to know that a) toddlers tell tales and b) adults do not generally yeet toddlers. The mind boggles.

Are you new to planet earth or have you just never met a toddler?

There is no way two members of staff would do that. One would have told on the other if they saw them do anything to hurt a child. You’d assume nobody would hurt a child but as we have seen recently from the Lucy Letby case, it does happen. One person I can believe but two? Also when would a teacher be on their own with a child? Has he got bruises and marks to evidence this?

A nursery staff member hit a child in front of you? When you say hit, what type of hit?

I bet anything OP will get this post removed because they don't like the fact that people on a forum gave their opinions and they didn't like them.

No one and said there is no possible way the child could be harmed, what they are saying is she should start by speaking to the nursery to get their side before withdrawing him and going to Ofsted. Guess what, Ofsted will need to hear their side before making any decisions.

That was to @Myneighboursarewankers

Maybe he's not mature enough for school just yet

Maybe no three year old needs to be at nursery at all, other than because it suits the parents?

Unless the OP’s child is at a nursery which is part of a school, it won’t be a teacher anyway.

You'd break two people's faces based on the word of a 3 year old?
Any 3-year old or just yours?
