My 2 year and 2 month old started at nursery last week, she’d had a week and a half of settling in sessions but did not like it. Her first day didn’t go too bad she’d been on and off crying all morning, but not the worst.
On her 2nd day, I was at work and received a phone call from the nursery to be told there had been an accident and a member of staff had stood on my daughters arm, they’d said she was having a tantrum (edited by MNHQ) and rolling on the floor which I can believe as she doesn’t like nursery yet and they’d stood on her by accident. They said she’d been crying for over an hour and not really moving the arm so advised I come and collect and get her checked over so I did.
Collected her from the nursery and signed the accident form, and took her to a&e she was moving it slightly but not a much as usual and was holding her elbow a lot. We needed a scan as the it was on her elbow and a joint was involved.
Went down for the scan and she screamed and cried a lot as we had to move her arm into different positions for x-ray. So the results came back fine but the doctor said she thought that it had been slightly dislocated an injury sometimes called pulled elbow children get from getting swung by their arms and when we’ve done the x-ray it had popped back into place.
My daughters arm is now completely fine had no issues since. But the more I’ve thought about it and spoken with people I keep being told to request the CCTV? Is this something nurseries do?
I do believe it was a genuine accident but I can’t help worrying now. I also do no want to start my relationship off with the nursery on a bad foot. What should I do?
Do nurseries show cctv on request??
