Like BFA said, it's better not to expose them to that enviorment. But certainly, you can appreciate where I was going with that.

But again, you can't go by referrals alone. A facility needs to let you do all three of things (tour, observe, referrals). If they are unwilling to do any part of it, then you should be unwilling to leave your child there. That's for future knowledge. As for now, you need to check what kind of recourse you have. You're not in the U.S. (I assume) so I have no idea what rules govern childcare where you are. If you can, you should A.) contact the corporate office and demand an explanation, B.) contact whatever agency governs childcare (if applicable) and see how you can lodge a complaint, and/or C.) threaten to take it to your local media...no one likes bad press.

Good luck and I do sincerely hope that your daughter is OK. It was probably just children getting out of hand, but still, those folks are paid to monitor and prevent such things. Somebody fell asleep on the job.
BigCalhoun- I'm so sorry you lost a baby... my husband and I also lost a baby, our first son almost 5 years ago, and it's the absolute worst thing that could ever happen. I know what it's like to sensitive when it comes to children, I'm the same way. Just wanted to send a hug and some understanding your way...
