Nursey have never asked us about bruises etc - baby once went with a scrape on his face as he fell in the garden and we had to fill in a thing just to say he went to Nursey with it . But it’s just so you can’t blame the Nursey not that we ever would !
Omg I'm an idiot lol. I completely read this post wrong 😂😂 I'm sorry. With a toddler lol super distracted. As a former teacher though I totally understand your worry but its their job. We're mandated by the state to report things like this even though it's nothing, so I'd imagine it's a similar reason. Or they just want to make sure a cut/bruise that happens at home is noted so the parent can't say it happened at the school.
I work in a nursery and we ask parents to fill in forms it just is proportion say a bump on the head if we flag it amd you tell us say he had a funny turn we know his bumped his head on the floor or other way round if he bumps himself at nursery you need to know incase he has a funny turn in the everning and you need to take him hospital for example x
@Bryanne I was actually going to reply to you and say, "I think you read it wrong." The bruises occurred in the home, not at the nursery.
Hi lovely so I work in childcare and it’s part of our job to fill in accident/injury forms if we notice a child comes into nursery with cuts, scratches, bruises etc. it’s to keep a record of it but also to cover our own backs as well incase you assumed it happened at nursery. Obviously if they look unusual/concerning we’d report it but we know little ones are clumsy and do fall and bump themselves etc. Don’t worry, we fill them in quite often! My little boy is about to start nursery himself and I know I’ll have to fill them in for him as he’s learning to walk and often falls and bumps, or he recently has a habit of scratching his face and leaving marks. X
My son often goes to nursery with injuries which I flag to them when we arrive. I suppose ‘luckily’ for us, his behaviour at nursery is the same as at home so they can see how he gets injured and we’ve never been questioned but have often signed forms about injuries both pre-existing and new ones from nursery. I know we have nothing to hide so I would rather know that they are diligent in flagging concerns although I understand that it can be worrying. I have social workers in my family and work in a job where I work alongside them often so I think I don’t find it as daunting in a way as I understand the process
Iv worked in a nursery for years and like others have said it’s just a procedure we have to do regardless of the situation, any marks that a child comes in with we have to record, one to cover our backs so we don’t have accusations thrown at us but also for safeguarding, if a child suddenly has a huge pile of accidents forms it will get looked at, we tend to only have concerns if the marks are alongside other concerning actions/observations or if the marks are in places that don’t tend to bruise/mark easily. We would also speak to the parent first too unless it was a serious safeguarding concern. So please don’t take anything personal and don’t worry x
I've had to sign a few reports for the same thing and say how my son got them ect. They know kids can be clumsy and fall over etc. they are just doing their jobs
Oh man... I would definitely talk to the supervisor and figure out what is going on if you haven't yet. I'm a SAHM and my baby constantly gets bruises and cuts so I'd imagine it's normal.. BUT if you feel off about it, follow your mommy instincts, get to the bottom of it. Do they have cameras? Did the teacher/caregiver talk to you directly when you picked them up? Did nobody notice until you did? I'd be asking a lot of questions. And if you still don't feel comfortable, change locations.
