A Scots nursery worker who forced two children into chairs and caused another to hit their chest off a table has been rapped by a watchdog. Melody Copland was also found to have roughly pulled a child’s leg while putting him to bed and yanked another’s ear when taking their temperature at Great Western Pre-School in Aberdeen.
The 23-year-old referred to one of the young children as a “pain in the butt” while handing a colleague a tub of pudding for the youngster. And she was found to have told colleagues that she was “fed up” with a child because “she is always crying”.
The Scottish Social Services Council states that Copland also said “I wish the parents would just pick them up and take them home” and “I can’t cope with him today; I don’t want anything to do with him today”.
