FTM here and 12m dd has recently started her childminder. First few weeks seemed to go brilliantly. She seemed happy and relaxed.
Then a few issues started coming up and I need some advice on how best to address the issues or... should I be finding other childcare provision as this is also something I am now considering.
Some of the issues that have come up this past week;
- DD out in garden most of the day and came home with a sunburnt scalp (sun hats and cream were in her bag and should've been used)
- She still has two bottles during the day but whilst there she may only be given 1/2 a bottle. Today she came home and both bottles had not been used and no water drank either (9-4pm).
- they left her in a cot crying until she fell asleep (around 30 min of crying)
- she has never had nappy rash until starting at the childminder. She came home today with such severe nappy rash. She seems to get a rash every time she's in now. We think her nappy was changed once during the whole day based on amount of nappies in her bag.
I just feel so upset at the thought of her not being cared for properly. Of course I won't send her if I feel worried but think I just needed to share this and hear if anyone has had any similar experiences or guidance. Thanks
