Cold hearted Manager, no regards for people's feelings. The previous manager was kind, professional and understood the situation I was in at the time. It's my son's birthday today (11/01/2019) and I have been visiting him at this nursery for 3 years without any issues with the previous manager. Now that there's a New manager I'm told (in the hallway, that I'm no longer welcomed). I was told in the hallway as other parents were passing that I'm no longer allowed to visit my son because the mother did not allow it.

We also found sand inside his clothes. Next morning we wake up and our baby eye was swallowing and completely closed with signs of irritation. So I took him to the Moorfields A&E where the doctor confirmed this was caused by sand and dirty hands and ended up with eye infection, so weve been prescribed antibiotics. I have called the nursery
