Issue at preschool? It's happened again.

Have you spoken to preschool about their supervision of X, is it just Iris or is he as bite happy with others? He obviously needs a higher level of supervision than he has obviously repeated incidents are a whole different ball game to a one off and require handling as so!!

Poor Iris xxx

I'd be speaking to the workers and telling them you want a closer eye kept on her. 3 separate incidents are to much for me.

for Iris she is being a star atm.

Oh no the poor little love I think you need to take I further, maybe write a letter detailing what has happened and ask for a meeting. I agree he needs a closer eye kept on him. Huge hugs for you both

I'm going to talk to the room supervisor tomorrow and request a meeting. My main concern is that the special needs member of staff is being used as an additional general teacher in the room - based just on my observations from dropping Iris off and picking her up (which I know may not be at all indicative of anything!). So I think X isn't getting the support he needs. The onus shouldn't be on Iris to tolerate this. And I still feel I shouldn't have to tell her to avoid this child.

Knowing how Iris is with Callum, she will eventually snap and retaliate at X. She'll put up with being hard done by for so long and then she'll crack. And it's not pretty when it happens. I don't want a situation to occur that Iris is hurting another child.

It's just not a conversation I want to have - I think you're doing a cr*p job of supporting X and need to know what you're going to change to safeguard my daughter.

It's rubbish that it has happened again! I would be asking for X's parents to be present at the meeting too i think. They know him better than anyone and may be able to suggest something.

biting isn't usually something that happens with 4yr olds... so he should def be getting one-to-one support...
hope you get some answers and solutions....

Poor Iris It does sound very much a supervision issue to me. If they know X is likely to bite or hit, someone needs to be with him constantly. The other children shouldn't be coming home having been regularly hurt by one child, SN or not. It's up to the workers to make sure it doesn't happen again

I would start with the nursery manager as she can then sort out whether it is a staff issue or a child issue, and then figure out what the best next steps are. I take any issues I have right to the manager and she always comes back to me in a few hours with what she has done. Something like this may be a staff management issue rather than an issue with this child (ie. staff may not be doing what they should be).

Hope you can get this sorted hun. What a horrible situation for Iris to be in It definitely sounds to me like this other child needs more supervision if this isn't a one off
