How do I complain to nursery (should i!)

My DD goes to nursery full time and I am really happy with it, she loves it.

But there is one girl there that I am not really very happy with. I think her standard of care is excellent, but I am not very happy with her attitude.

When I pick my dd up or drop her off in the afternoon she often jokes that I am actually going shopping or having lunch and not going to work because I am dressed casually. I change into uniform at work but what does that matter to her! I know she is joking but I find it a bit of an odd thing to say.

I have caught her calling my DD fat twice, and I know shes only a baby, but still I would prefer her not to call her that.

The last straw was when I read my DDs daily report for yesterday and under general comments she had written that she spent the day 'wittering away' I know what she means, but her choice of words does not sit well with me and my DH was really quite angry at that.

I think she is a fantastic nursery nurse, but I don't think she is professional enough, I would like her to give myself and my daughter a little more respect. Should I chat to the manager, write a letter, or just leave it? Now I write it down it all sounds silly, but its the little things that add up you know?

She is being very unprofessional but it maybe she is unaware of this. I would chat to the nuresry nurse and praise the girl but insist that she needs to think before speaking because you are not sure how to take what she says. I once said to a mum that her ds had been mardi today, where i came from in devon mardi meant 'not himself, abit off colour' but in leicester it meant 'moody, stroppy and unhappy' The mum went to my manager who had a word with me and i apologised and explained the problem. We were ok after that and i thought before i spoke!
