An incident occurred last week at DDs nursery whereby she totally out of character pushed another child over. The Nursery Nurse shouted "how dare you" very loudly at her and sat her alone on a step outside.
The nursery have investigated the incident and nursery nurse has been given a written warning as it is not sort of behaviour that they expect from their staff. My DD has been very upset going to nursery this week (howling, holding onto me, saying don't leave me) and was very upset when we asked her about pushing the child (sobbed, ran away and hid - we did not know at this point that she had been shouted etc at.) - For sometime now DD has been crying every morning going to nursery and saying that she doesn't like it and I wonder if this nursery nurse is generally quite harsh (most children say she is loud and my DD hides behind me when she sees her). Should I request that this Nursery nurse is moved to another nursery / request that she no longer works with my child? It is a very small nursery of only about 20 children so her impact (loud and brusque) whithin the nursery is widely felt. Obviously my primary responsibility is to my DD - Help, has anyone had a similar experience and what did they do.

If this nursery is small, the management will be well aware of staffs behaviour, especially if they shout, which by the way is not acceptable to ofsted, so if you want my honest opinion I would find another nursery. My impression is that the management accept this form of discipine by omission.
