My daughter is nearly 9 months, she has only been at nursery 6 days so far, and she has a bump/fall every other day. she has had 3 in total.
today I think she mustve knocked her lip, as she mustve cut it as there was blood on her top.
does your lo have accidents all the time like this.
I surely dont think this can be right!!
she is active. likes exploring and that.
what can I do. next time it could me much worse.

I'm guessing that the nursery is sending your little one home with notes? Or at the very least, reporting back to you at the end of the day?
If you think about it, if you had to write a note for every bump and fall that might leave a mark, you'd be filling them in nineteen to the dozen at home as well. It may be that it just feels an awful lot because the injuries are being pointed out to you.

Just be aware, they're in with other kids, there's lots to do and explore even at that age, and you are likely to get a fair number of notes from any nursery - for a while I worried cosycub was poorly if he didn't get at least one bump note a day, lol.
That's changed now he's older and steadier on his feet.

On the other hand, if you are still having issues with trusting this nursery, it's time to start looking for somewhere else.

Though my kids don't go to nursery I'm sure you'll have read that I used to work in one.
I'll echo Cosywolfs comments, kids do have bumps and scuffles here and there, my kids would be a threat to the environment if I took written notes on every bump ;)
However, this is your second thread about this nursery and I would say you should seriously consider looking for somewhere else. Take your time and consider childminders too if you feel it's easier or more appropriate.
