**chels55** · 21-10-2009, 07:30 AM

No, not been asked that one!! I dont think your allowed to even cut a childs nails - could be seen as child abuse!!!

I have too, in the 'olden days' before Ofsted been asked to cut them. First time parents are sometimes too scared to do it and babies scratch themselves. I would however not bite them

Me neither Jen, not even in the old days. This lo was about 3 years old and just refused to let Mum or Dad cut his nails so I did it. They asked me every time after that. He's 16 now and moved away so I don't do them now.

Some things were so much easier B.O.

When I worked at a care home, we weren't even allowed to do it then, to adults.

I used to bite my own babies awwww memories

Lots of things were easier pre Ofsted.

Like when you had finished for the day, tidied toys away - that was it, day over. No paperwork except accounts, register and accident book.

I cut my full timers nails as he won't sit still for parents - from Ofsted's point of view should I not be then?

However, biting them? Yuk!!!

**sunnysmile** · 21-10-2009, 05:00 PM

I have done a little ones nails a few times as mum and dad seem to forget or are scared to and the little one scratches himself horribly so I would rather cut nails than see him draw blood

i was going to ask the same thing. i am yet to be asked about nails BUT my own DS won't sit still to have his done so i cut them when he is having his daytime nap. i kind of assumed that a few other parents did this so i might come across it minding???...
