Splat Day Nursery & Forest School

My child loves this nursery! Great staff and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Loads of outside space and the recent re vamp looks great.

It's fair to say that children will pick up viruses when they attend nursery, particularly in the beginning, but Splat has been experiencing weekly breakouts of covid, headlice, and hand foot and mouth disease. Upon 'settling' at the nursery, I witnessed filthy toys and neglectful practices. My biggest concern however, was of neglect. I was horrified to witness a member of staff place a distraught baby on her stomach on a freezing cold slab the in the garden (at the front of the building in January) and left her there to cry. The incident was recorded on CCTV and the nursery manager informed me that she had spoken to this member of staff about this. I do believe best practices need to be trained but there are particular qualities that cannot be learned - you either have the instinct to comfort a child, or you dont, and in this case I'm not convinced you can explain to someone why it is not ok to abandon a crying child in this way. Please don't leave your child under the 'care' of Splat nursery staff.
