It saddens me that these issues which you brought to us in March appear not to have been resolved as I believed they were.<br>Your younger child was only into his 3rd week of settling and progress had been reported. He was never left in a cot for 2 hours unattended. His nappy was changed during this time and he was checked on regularly but his new environment was still unfamiliar to him then. He also did not appear sleepy on the other occasion you mention and was content, therefore the staff would not force a child to go to a cot in these circumstances. He was still in the early stages of settling and sleeping patterns sometimes take weeks to be established, especially for breastfed babies.<br>Regarding your older son, we were delighted to hear he had come through his major surgery well and were looking forward to his return to nursery. As our policy states we requested a letter from the hospital to confirm he was ready to return but this was not produced. Unfortunately, negotiations to delay his start date by one week were not successful and he never returned to the nursery.<br>The local Social Services team were kept up to date throughout and were happy with how the nursery dealt with the situations.<br>I would like to wish you and your family all the best for the future and am happy to hear you have found childcare solutions that work for you.
