    Question for parents on the panel

    We have a nanny share whereby the nanny comes to the house to look after our son (1.5 years) and brings her 2 children with her.
    The thinking was that he would learn to socialise with other children and be happy in his home environment rather than being dumped in a nursery.
    However I have noticed one of the nanny's children who is 2 and a bit and therefore bigger is very physical with him.
    This morning she tried to lift him by the throat from behind obviously strangling him. I've seen her throw him to the ground witha kind of rugby tackle and bang his head on the wall.

    Now I don't want to mollycoddle the boy but I think this is going too far. Its partly because I think 3 toddlers is too much for the nanny to look after.

    What do the other parents think?

    Interesting. I think you might find the same issue yourself if you ever came to a CUK drinks night.

      I've been to a couple of CUK dos. Incognito, of course.

        That sounds like a strange set up.

        Would the kid not be better in a nursery, surely more social skills to be learned and no favouritism being shown?

            WSS.

            My boy is three and goes to a private nursery. He's made a few goods friends there and really enjoys it. He interacts with lots of different children and they go on outings and play outside most days if it isn't raining.

            Anyway, get yourself on mumsnet, I'm sure they'll love your personality there.

              I think you should have a word with the nanny. Protection from physical violence isn't mollycoddling. Children at that age aren't really aware that they are hurting people, and a 1.5 year old is more or less incapable of looking after themselves.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                Visited local nurseries and all of them seemed to be cold, soulless, regimented places run for the benefit of the ease of the carers rather the children.
                Never saw a single child smile in any of them, and went to the best and most expensive.
