Hi all,
Bit of background.
I have 2 DCs, DS5 and DD3. DS attended the same nursery setting when he was 4, enjoyed it as much as he could (separation anxiety). It's a small nursery with 4 staff members, I have a good relationship with two of them. They're quite friendly and seem to be great with the kids, everyone in the area recommend them etc.
My DD started with them last week. She's enjoyed it so far and looks forward to nursery days (3 a week). I call them midday or they call me and the update has always been 'she's getting on well', 'engaging with children', 'keeping them on their toes'. Same updates as pickup - the usual.
I've just settled her down for bedtime and she said that today one of the nursery teachers grabbed her wrist and squeezed it. I asked why that happened and she put her hand to her mouth and whispered 'baby bed' I asked her to elaborate and she said that she pretended to be a baby and led down in the toy baby cot' the teacher then grabbed her wrist and 'walked with her'.
My DD does like to overdramatise situations and does have quite a good imagination.
I don't want to dismiss her at all but also don't want to accuse staff. Is anyone able to offer any guidance on how to approach the situation? Thanks in advance. I want to navigate this the right way.
