    Did he have a big drink when you gave him one? If so, assume the worst and lodge a complaint!

    Well the milk was in the fridge so long that the top of it was a bit frozen, so I had to mush it up a bit, but yeah he drank most of the milk and about a third of the water in the car on the way home...

    It sounds like they didn't offer it to him. I went through something similar with Nina's old daycare. I would be contacting other daycares around your area and trying to get him in.

    Kick up a fuss mate. In a fair, reasonable, 'no-I'm-not-a-nutter-but-this-is-NOT-good-enough' kind of way. Ask questions and see what they have to say, give them a chance to explain things, but mention reporting them if you're not satisfied with answers they provide. It sounds like they might need a bit of a wake-up call.

    It could have just been a bad day at the centre, bad communication, and chaos, but that kind of thing regularly isn't acceptable. Hope it's not as bad as you think, and they have a good and satisfying explanation.

    Oh that doesn't sound good at all!! Like Tanstar I don't have any personal CC experiences but that doesn't mean I can't see something pretty wrong with that picture. As if it isn't hard enough for parents (especially mums!) to have their little ones in CC in the first place, to have any doubt at all that they are nutured, cared for & respected just as they should be is awful.

    Poor little guy!! I agree with Nelle about making a fuss, it really is unacceptable & even if you get him into another centre the fuss you make now can certainly only benefit other kids in the centre's care. Give Aricyn a hug from me!! (& all the water he can drink lol)

    Mel,

    I would definately be questioning it. At our DC, the never refill a bottle, and I even got a call today cause DD was out of sorts. She is only there 2 days a week and they know her really well (so much so that they can tell me when something is wrong long before I notice it LOL).

    You have to be comfortable leaving him wherever he goes, and with your 2nd one nearly here, you don't need the added stress..

    Look, I am one of the most easy going people on the planet and I'd be the same as you and not really react if someone tried to get my baby's attention with her foot.

    But like you too, it would gnaw away at me later.

    And I just think it's rude and not a nice way to treat a baby. And the more I think about it, it's just not right and IT'S JUST NOT BLOODY ON.

    The milk/water incident on top of that. Something's not right. I too would look at other options.
