At what age did you send your child to nursery? (Comment age if you don’t mind to 🙏🏻)

9 months, when I went back to work/school

Will not be until after 2 years.

My son was at home until preschool aged 3.5 My daughter went to a childminder age 13 months

11 months as I had to return back to work.

Both mine started pre school at 2

My oldest went at 5 months my youngest went at 22 months.

My son went to preschool at 3. Before that he was with my parents 2 days a week. My daughter will be going at 1, purely because we get funded hours then. My son is a nightmare going in, even after 6 months and increased hours. I'm hoping she'll adapt better

3 months, I had to go back to work early.

First started at 3 (was with grandma until then). Second is currently 2.5 and will start in January.

Just after his 3rd birthday

My daughter did 3 hours day in the morning at 3/4 months because I worked overnight

Everyone’s different, you have to do what’s best for you and your family. Personally I want to wait as long as I can (I think it’s 3 here) because imo the school system has them long enough and rn it’s my time my baby but with baby number 2 on the way im kinda considering it. However nursery does have soo many benefits for the child aswell (learning to be around other kids, sharing, participating in structured play as well as independent ect.)

Mine is 2.5 years and still not at nursery. I don’t see the point of giving nurseries the majority of my income if I went back to work so we made the decision that I would stay home. Next September when we get the 15 free hours we plan to send her a few mornings or afternoons a week so that reception isn’t the first time she’s been away from me.

9 months as I had to go back to work

2.5 x

I won’t be until 3 for a year before reception begins and that will probably be 3 days a week. I don’t believe it’s necessary if you don’t need to do it quite honestly.

He will be going to a childminder from 9 months I won’t send to nursery until aged 3.

11m so we could transition for me going back post 12m

I sent my daughter the term after she turned 2 and that is only because I was entitled to the free 15hrs (I couldn't afford childcare and didn't go back to work) she turned 2 in may and started in the September. I'll be doing the same with my second daughter who will be 2 next July.

We used a cm first as went back to work at 6 months. In hindsight I might have gone straight to nursery.

My son went at 12 1/2 months, my daughter will be going at 9 months

My eldest went to nursery at 11 months when I went back to work. My youngest is with a childminder so she’ll go to nursery when she’s 3

2.5 years old 10 hours a week from the UK

Mine started at 14 months & 15 months. They’re summer babies, they started the September after their 1st birthday

My firstborn was 2 & my secondborn was 7months. My situation was different both times.

Whenever you need them to be in nursery you send them in rly

When she was 3 years old, for one day per week. We went up to two days per week in the run up to her starting school.

9 months

My little one turned 8 months the day before starting and we delayed my start date a week as she wasn't doing well with food and refused bottles

My oldest at 1 year and my youngest was only 3 months.

3yrs. Had to wait to get the funding.
