Nettles

Just wanted people's opinions on this.

Went to see a nursery today for DD to start when she turns 3 (a state nursery. She has possible ASD and various special needs.

On way in I noticed nettles in the garden, and wondered a bit about them.

The staff I met at nursery were nice and DD loved all the activities so I think she would be happy there.

However while i was talking to the manager a little girl was brought in crying as she had stung herself on the nettles.

I know kids could see nettles in park etc and can usually learn to avoid them after a while (although DD would not easily learn this) but I just felt WHY have they not tried to get rid of them.

I suppose I am worried its a sign that they aren't that careful about the children's welfare.

But am I being too precious??

WWYD?

Bit odd.

I'm all for encouraging wildlife ... but I would have thought if they were supposed to be there then they should be fenced off properly.

They said that the granddad of one of the kids helps with the garden as he lives next door, so i am not sure if they are maybe short of funding for a gardener?
