Hello, am new to this but would appreciate advice.
Whilst visiting our son's new nursery - he is due to start in Sept - for an induction day,I saw a Rat in the outside children's play area. It ran from the garden to behind the planters in the playground where they grow vegetables.
We live in a city centre, and I am aware that rats are EVERYWHERE but seeing one in a child's playign area of the nursery in which I am going to be sending my son has upset me a bit!
I called the nursery the next day, and they sid that they were aware of the problem, and that they have a contract with the city council, and that they would call them out to investigate.
However, I still find that I am really uncomfortable about this, especially as they have compost bins, and bird feeding tables in this area, I am worried about it.
It is making me feel like I don't want my son to go to this nursery. The nursery has a really good reputation, but I'm just feeling really put off - I am being ridiculous?! Probably. what would you do?
