Is this normal

[OneJadeHelper]

My LO had a settling in session today at nursery and her "keyworker" introduced herself to me and then took my LO out of my arms and walked off with her. She was very upset as dosn't like new people, it takes her time to gey use to them. Is this right or should I report it. I am absolutely fuming.

Was it her first session settling?
Was you staying?
How old is she?

I am a mother - and have worked in nurseries before being a mum ....

Personally, I wouldn't have taken your child from your arms; I would have greeted you and your child, asked you / her what she likes doing and then said - how about we go to XYZ ..... led you there and hopefully your child would sit opposite me & play with or beside me with your encouragement
However, you don't say age / how many sessions / if your stayed so it's hard to advise

I probably wouldn't report it - I would speak directly to the key worker when you collect your child OR when you next go in

What happened next? Did your DD calm down? Did you take her back? Did the key worker give her back?

It maybe wasn't the ideal start for your DD, but I don't really know what you're going to 'report her' for?

This was her 3rd settling in session and she is only 16 months old. When she walked off with her she was hysterical. None of the other workers there have never done that. I never gave consent for my own child to be taken out of my arms. They won't even let you take her into the room where they the last two times she has been.

It sounds quite normal for a 3rd session for the staff member to take your baby and go?
What were you hoping/expecting to happen instead?

When you are back at work you won't be able to hang around and neither will staff who will have lots of other children to collect from their parents. Was it a yank out of your arms or a I'll take her now let's go? Do you trust the nursery? How many more sessions do you have for settling in? It's a really tough process to balance. Sometimes the child gets more upset if the separation is long and drawn out. What would you like it to look like?
