Injury form at nursery

[fedup078]

On Saturday 18mo ds slipped in a park chasing his football and clashed with some metal railings. It happened so fast. He has a nice bruise on his head
Ex h took him to nursery this morning and I told him he'd have to fill in an accident form . He just rang to say they wouldn't accept the explanation and he had to take the form home. They want more details. ie. angle he fell at etc
I know they are covering their backs but, he's a toddler. He fell and hit his head. This is the first injury he's had which is pretty good going as far as I'm concerned
I'm already annoyed with the nursery as last week he was sick and the only reason I can see why was that they over fed him. He was fine before and has been fine since and apparently he'd had 'seconds' at lunch and then threw it all back up
It's not the first time he's been sent home with an illness I saw no evidence of

I'm worried sick now. It was an accident . I was pissed off that it happened but accidents happen!

Sounds bizarre, you can explain it however you want, they have to accept what you say and if they have concerns they can do a safeguarding referral which would go to someone who has a bit more of a clue!
Just fill in the form with what you know and give it back. We have an 18 month old and he crashes into everything, the first time he arrived with a cut on his face our childminder said that we as parents would have to get used to it and that was that.

I thought those forms were just so they had proof it didn't happen at nursery. They are being ott, they are not social services.

Our eldest tripped over her own feet and fell in to our front door getting a very large bruise on her face. I filled in a form saying it happened at home and that was that. I think people doubted it at 1st until she tripped over her feet at my mums and face planted the wall in front of a few people, kids are always getting bumps and scrapes.

I suspect they need you to fill the form in as he wasn't with your ex DH at the time of the accident?

@Mammyloveswine they didn't say I needed to
I just rang them and basically told them exactly what my ex said he told them and I said is that enough and they said yes yes and kept repeating the place I'd just told them it happened (weird)
They didn't ask me for the angle he fell at etc
I'm still pretty freaked out by it

It'll be to cover their own
Backs so you can't say he did the injury at nursery. Try not to worry op.

I can’t believe you’re blaming them for over feeding him causing him to be sick. Babies at that age can’t over feed, they stop when hungry. Unless they were force feeding him like a goose for fois gras then it’s more likely he had a little bug

@ShirleyPhallus well you’re wrong but I can’t be bothered to argue with you
