Starting Nursery

My son has been going two days a week since September and still cries when I take him. He settles after 5 mins and has a lovely time. I keep wondering when the crying will stop but I suppose it just takes time. As long as they have a good day I’d feel no guilt! It’s so good for them to be there and you’re doing an amazing job xx

@Jade thank you babe! We will be sending her twice a week too! Glad to hear he settles in after a few minutes give me a bit of reassurance that it will get better! Xx

My little boy has been in 3 days a week for about a month now and still cries at every drop off and pick up. They’ve told me he’s completely fine a few minutes later and is growing in confidence, he even goes up to them for cuddles now too. I think it just takes time, I understand the horrible feeling though! His separation anxiety has got a lot worse the last couple of weeks but he has been ill and teething in that time too, just have to keep telling myself it’s a phase 😊

LO has been going twice a week since September, i picked him up after half a day first "full day" as I missed him so so bad 🥹 he was like "who are you why are we leaving 🧐" and I'm half crying! He was so confused 😅 I basically ran away from work to pick him up early for the first week and a half, and then I sort of settled with the idea that no one is kicking him or pulling his hair or ripping his arms off if I'm not there. Then I started to enjoy it just a little. And him, too, he loves going! He sometimes cries on drop off but only if I stick round and make sad faces at him. He stops soon as the door closes. Once or twice I've picked him up and he gestures he wants to go back in 😅 which honestly really does make me feel like a shit mum. But I'm glad he is happy! I still struggle some days, right now I've been counting minutes till I can go pick him up again since 1pm, he's just on the brink of walking and it's so exciting to see him take steps!
