dd was 4 in August so a young one in reception. She has suffered severe constipation since the summer which the school know about. This weekend she was given new medication which really helped but left her with 'speedy poo'. This morning I told the class teacher that she would need to go to toilet suddenly and left a change of clothes in case of accidents. At the start of lunch time dd was out in the playground, needed to poo and asked the dinner lady but was refused - ok so the dinner lady wasn't told about dd's poo thing but why would you not let a 4 year old go to the toilet? it's bloody ridiculous.
So dd didn't make it, had massive pooing thing and actually had to be taken into the disabled toilet and was showered clean . Poor dd, she then didn't have time to eat lunch so came home really hungry and it was her very first day full-time today . The staff who helped her out were really kind with her and did not make a big deal about it at all but at the dinner lady. I'm going to have to talk to her teacher again in the morning. I just don't get why children would not be allowed to go to toilet - they're only 4 years old FGS.
