Nursery staff making my son sick?

217 replies

Thefirstime · 24/05/2023 08:12

This might sound so dark/strange, but I have gut intuition here that the current setting my son is at, is making him sick.. literally vomit..

A bit of background - we have decided to keep my son on into the prep school, he will
start reception from sept and they don’t want him to (some of the staff) there is a 3 is a crowd scenario with my son and another boy who’s mum is a teacher..

i think a few things have happened and they haven’t told me - the nursery staff are so clicky and awful.. but right now he has a few friends and seems relatively happy..

we have no other option as we don’t live close by to any other school/s unless we move home..

I have spoken with them and they keep saying everything is ok.. since accepting a place in Reception - he has been sick multiple times and had a frequent fever - I am having him checked at the hospital..

what on earth do I do?!

I don’t have trust right now.. do I pull him out? We stand to lose a place and don’t have anything else..

it’s a major safeguarding issue that I feel is at play.. but I have nothing to prove at all.. only teaching assistants avoiding me at pick up.. no idea what has happened..

As for stool, its likely as simple as worms that could have been caught anywhere, frequently for children who play on the ground, can cause these symptoms, and need treatment to solve the issue.

What do you actually think they are doing to make him unwell?

If you are responding irrationally to your child's nursery situation, it makes no sense whatsoever to trust your instincts. In general, the usual MN advice to "trust your gut" is at least half the time completely wrong. One's instincts may be correct, but they may also be spectacularly wrong.

This 1000%

Yes I honestly think something is going on.. I don’t know how or what but I know..

You could make an environmental health complaint / query (?)

Complaint about what?

Well exactly.
I'm surprised so many people are enabling the OP with her delusion.

This is madness. You actually think staff are colluding to poison your child because he is in a 3 way friendship along with a teachers child? And your evidence is fevers?

CJsGoldfish · 25/05/2023 05:22

Have you ever considered that YOUR anxiety and YOUR paranoia is what is making your child ill?
You know they take their cues from you right? No way your issues are not being picked up on by your child. It just isn't possible 🤷‍♀️

Zanatdy · 25/05/2023 05:55

Seems a bit far fetched. Have you asked your GP to run bloods incase there is an underlying reason he’s getting sick so much. Do you really think they’d risk going to prison? Sounds like it’s in your mind

Zanatdy · 25/05/2023 06:01

Also if you genuinely believe this and you appear to, of course you remove him immediately. Why would you risk him being killed by people poisoning him? I hope you’re not asking him loaded questions to get evidence

We are hoping to get his stool sample tonight and send it off tomorrow - I spoke to the GP and she was on it straight away.. i said he could have ingested something at nursery.”

Did you tell the GP that you believe staff are conspiring to deliberately make your son ill?

If he has ingested something - could have been at home?

I hope so.

I think you've gone to the extreme here and everyone needs to settle down and think rationally.
He's vomiting and a temp? How often? How long? How many bouts since it began? How extreme is it?
There's many other natural illnesses that can linger and cause this. For example My son had slightly similar to what you described over a 4 month period and it was stomach migraines

You think the nursery is deliberately making your son ill... yet you won't pull him out? I think you need to seek some help from a gp yourself

I think you should get your own mental health checked out.
