Thanks for all your really helpful advice. I think that I will have a chat with the teacher about the incident and just try to understand what the school protocol is so that I know in future how minor accidents are being dealt with.

Thanks for your responses. It's not really being contacted by the school that I'm concerned about. It's how these accidents are being dealt with at the school. Was your child expected to clean up their nose bleeds themselves?

Our little girl has recently started in reception class at Bellenden primary school. Yesterday she fell during playtime and grazed her knee (the skin was broken and the area was very red). She said that she told her teacher and the teacher told her to go and clean it herself. She wasn't taken to have it cleaned and we weren't contacted to advise that she had hurt herself. Is this standard Health and safety procedures in primary schools? I'm just a little concerned that a 4 year old was told to go and clean herself up after a fall which could have become infected.

My partner and I are looking into nursery and pre-schools for our 2 year old. We live in East Dulwich but are having difficulty finding information on other parents experiences/recommendations?
