As a mother, I know that children have tantrums ALL the time and normally I feel for the parents when I witness such scenes.

However, in this instance it was clear that the child was very distressed and had absolutely no connection to the nanny. My purpose in posting this to let the parents know to check in with the child if everything is ok.


The nanny appeared neglectful of 3.5/4yr old girl, I saw them on 3 x occasions walking around Northcross Road, Lordship Lane & then Goose Green play ground.

The girl was extremely distressed and seemed fearful of nanny. Another group of parents commented on the way the nanny spoke to the child when they walked passed her. Nanny seemed stone faced and glued to her phone.


I then bumped into them in Goose Green park and the girl was crying in a corner, almost inconsolable. The nanny was on opposite side of park completely ignoring child on her phone.

I went over to ask if the girl was ok and where her mummy was, but she was too shy to talk. The nanny then suddenly appeared. I asked who she was and why she was ignoring a child in her charge. She admitted she was the nanny but made no effort to console child or reach out to her or make any comment on her behaviour. Just that child is 'like this all the time'. I did tell her that she needed to put her phone away and focus on the child. So, she sat next to her arms crossed, but still completely ignoring her.


The nanny clearly knew she was in the wrong. For the rest of the time I was in the park, she followed the child and did not have her phone out. But there was almost no interaction between the two.


I have debated about posting this, but if my own children were ever in this position I would dismiss the nanny immediately. It wasn't that there was outward signs of abuse but it was the emotional wellbeing of the child I was concerned for.


Girl was about 3.5/4yr, not school age but older than most kids in park. She had dark shoulder length hair. Very pretty and riding a bike.


If you want further information on the nanny etc. please PM

      It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.

      DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
