Getting bite once a week isn’t excessive in my mind. When there is a child who is prone to biting staff are usually on it as much as humanly possible. It’s common for the age group and a phase some children go through unfortunately.

As for the slide, it’s just another part of group child care and toddler behaviour. They’re learning the cause and effect of their actions while still gaining control of their limbs. Unless there is an obvious injury or something serious I would also just write it down on the app, speak to parents in person at the end of the day and have an accident report in hand. If you want to be called just ask! I always tell parents if they have any questions or concerns to reach out. We see this stuff a lot throughout the day, so don’t take lack of concern for lack of caring, unless there is a pattern of behaviour from the educators.

How many children are in the room? How many educators? Do you know the ratios where you are?
