Nursery Nightmare | Schools | Dad Chat Forums

One afternoon when I went for lunch and poppe din to the nursery where my child is/was/

I found 2 carers looking after 10 babies. "Looking after" was an exaggeration as they were talking to each other and ignoring the crying children and occasionally tapping the recliners in order to calm the children down. I watched this for what seemed a good half hour, but was only a couple of mins and went up to them. They were surprised and started stuttering, saying "she's only been like this for a minute". B*****s!! which was my reply. Looking at my daughters " no sleep all day" face broke my heart and I wanted to kill these little twits. I removed her at once.

I am not saying all nurseries are like this because they are not. What I am saying is think carefully. If there is more than one cot in a room, there will be little chance of your child getting it's needed sleep. After this Amy went to a child minders where it was one on one care and it was only for 2 days a week. Then we moved to a different area (due to the wife's job) and I became the full time carer working for myself in the evening which worked a lot better.
