Hi all, I'm on maternity leave with my first baby and I return to work in a couple of months. My LO will be 11 months old and starting a nursery she's been booked into for a while (it's connected to where I work). I had heard through the grapevine that there had been a fatality a week ago so I emailed them and they confirmed that there had been a tragic incident and it was closed whilst investigations take place and the staff are supported. They said they can confirm the fatality didn't happen at the nursery, and I have it unconfirmed from someone else that this was a choking incident so assume the child died at hospital but I don't know.
It has obviously really shaken me up, is absolutely every parent's worst nightmare, and I have suffered with intrusive thoughts since she was born which I've had support for so this has sent me on a spiral and I can't think clearly. Would you find another nursery? Or wait until the investigation has finished?
Any thoughts appreciated, and obviously my heart is with the family of the poor little child that has passed and all the staff.
