Last wednesday 28Jul just after 11am I was on wandsworth common near the duck pond on the bollingbroke grove side, by the road. A nanny came with two twin girls, both dressed the same (pink sun hats and white with blue dresses), age i would guess somewhere between 1 and 1.5 years old. The nanny got them out of the pram and onto the bench near the pond. I think she was going to give them a snack. I have been alerted by her shouting at the girls rather loudly and unpleasantly. I stopped and stayed around to observe. She did it twice and really very harshly, in as many minutes. The only reason for shouting was that one of the girls (i think named Eliza, but not too sure) stood up on the bench. She shouted 'sit down, eliza' twice.
As i said, the manner in which she did it (very harsh and in my opinion totally out of line with the situation - if you shout at a toddler this age for standing up on a bench you would be shouting all day???). So harsh that it attracted my attention sufficiently to turn back and watch! I would not want this nanny looking after my kids. I would like to ask anyone who might recognise the children in question to contact their mother/father and let them know of this. Should they want to speak to me, please just send me a message via the nappyvalleynet.com. the nanny was on the chubby side and either asian or something like mexican - sorry could not tell any better.
Annabel,
please see which forum this post needs to go into.
