Creche Manager highlighting special needs kid.

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but here goes.

Recently in the last few weeks my partner and I were viewing creches to send my child to. Having viewed a few, one really stood out to me and I was appalled by the way the manager of the creche referred to one of the children.

Anyway, we were viewing the rooms and the layout and so on and out of no where the manager stated ' O if you hearing someone screaming like they're getting murder, don't worry as it's only a special needs child upstairs. He sometimes escapes out of the room and runs around screaming like someone in a nut house'.

I couldn't believe what I had just heard. If that was my kid she was referring to I would be doing my best to make sure that person never worked in a creche or anywhere near kids again.

Well needless to say, my son nor anyone I have the power to stop from going there will ever step foot in that place again.

Seems crazy that a creche manager would not see anything wrong with talking about any child, with or without a disability, in those terms to another parent, never mind the disability issue.

You possibly could consider making a formal complaint to TUSLA if you wish.

I'd run a mile from any such place. For one , the child is a child with special needs, not a "special needs child" ie they are children first and foremost. The whole thing is highly unprofessional in so many ways.
