quick one

[firewatch]

Every monday I attend a parenting/confidence building course.
Madam goes into creche for the two hours with provided child care from sure start. Normally these ladies are pretty good and madam dotes on one in particular making a be line for her each each week. today she wasnt there and a surly middle aged women was. i didnt like her from the get go,but put it down to being away 2 weeks.
any ways i go in to pick madam up and said surly creche person was dangling her dummy above her head just of madams reach. is it just me or did that seem she was intentionally winding madam up??Madam hasnt been able to settle and even when napping was very very restless.

Some creches have webcams, so you can check on the littlies - does yours have one?

[firewatch]

no its in a community centre and only run when courses need it.

[sherrardk]

I wouldn't have liked it - from what you've said it sounds like she was trying to wind madam up (but it could have been part of some game?).

[erin-x]

That sounds terrible. Next time you are there you should ask her about it and see what she has to say.

[firewatch]

I am thinking of phoning my health visitor as she runs the course. Even if it was part of a game it still seems cruelxx

[sherrardk]

Ringing your HV sounds like a good plan - maybe explain that you can't very well attend a confidence course if you are not happy with leaving your little one.

[firewatch]

she knows im not happing little one, i have a lot of incsecurities but this morning madam was then happy to be left and was playing happily when i left her. and she seemed ok when i picked her up only she couldnt get out the door quick enough.

I hate that kind of teasing - to me it is unnecessarily cruel - not fun at all. I would certainly be in touch with my Health Visitor if it was me. You are trying to improve your situation by going to the courses and how can they expect you to get the most out of it if you are worrying about what is happening to your babe.

[firewatch]

shes simply refusing to sleep and be out of my sight tonight shes still awake and building a den out of my sofa throws.Shes only 2 bless her I dont like it wehn shes made this unsettled.

[ummmm]

You think she's this unsettled because someone held her dummy out of reach?

[firewatch]

no ummmm its been a comfort thing since she was 5 weeks, but she is also teething cutting a molar by the chomp of it.

[starone]

That was all firewatch saw ummmm. She could have been teased for longer. Extra cuddles wont hurt her anyway.

[firewatch]

there was other staff there which is what i dont get so will be phoning my health visitor, and yes extra cuddles are certainly nice to have and i dont mind the clearup after oh hang on shes got the wet wipes

[NOX]

Give her a bih munch. If she's unsettled it's more likely to do with her teething than because this morning someone she doesn't know held her dummy out of reach. In my experience kids get over things very quickly, it's adults that hold onto them, so I'd just forget it for now, but monitor the situation next time this woman is there and if there is a repeat performance then take steps perhaps.

[ummmm]

She also doesn't know for sure if the child was being teased...

Building dens is not going to help her settle either....

[firewatch]

well shes just come and curled up next to so i think calpol and ashton and parsons are kicking in

[rozia]

thats cruel. Report her to management,

[Kassee]

There should be someone in charge of the creche, and in charge of the nursery assistants. Why dont you speak to this person and say you weren't very happy with what this woman was doing. Can't you pop back unexpectedly to have a look in and see what's going on a few times during the two hours - that may set your mind at rest - or ask when the other lady is back.

[firewatch]

if i pop back titchy goes mental and wont be left so i leave her be, but the course leader pops in for me and shes usually playing happilyx
