So this happened a while ago and I've written a letter to the management of the centre who haven't replied yet- but I just wanted to know if anybody else had experienced this...

A few weeks ago I approached the creche at our local swimming pool to book DS in (you have to book 3 days ahead). It was going to be for an hour. I walked in with DS in the pram, just to check it out for myself and to book, when the little so-and-so that was in there said that they didn't take disabled babies.

Now, DS is only 4 1/2 months old. I'm not sure what everybody elses kid does at this age, but this little guy pretty much looks around, giggles, and has a quiet chat to himself. Anyone who meets him says he is one of the most chilled out little fella's they've ever met. BUT at the time he was wearing a pavlik harness for hip dysplasia (since moved to a DB brace YAY!). I was taken aback and didn't really know what to say- 'I'm sorry, it's for an hour, I'm not sure what the problem would be?'. The reply was 'Nappy changes will be too difficult'. Again, "Um, I'll only be an hour, I'm 20m away in the pool, if there's some random poo event, I can come in and change him myself". Her reply, again "I'm sorry, we don't deal with disabled babies."

Has anyone ever had to deal with this???? How did you deal with it? Like I said it was a couple of weeks ago and I'm still a bit funny about it. I've written to the management of the centre, but now I don't want to go back because they'll look at DS in a different light.
