Can you explore with them how she is in the day once there? Mine struggled to settle in for around a month or two but since then drop offs are fine. We have had the odd issue where I've had to take him back in after dentist or something and he's gotten upset but I think that's when it's been a leaving and coming back situation and confusing. I'd say my little one loves it but is one of the quieter children whereas at home he's more chatty and full on. He's just got the sort of personality where he doesn't push himself forward like that with more people around. I'd consider moving her if you know she isn't enjoying it but some kids just don't like drop off and are fine once you're there
@Rasa interesting that your experiencing this as well. My little girl started at 11 months and has been completely fine until very recently becoming upset at drop off (she's fine again after a couple mins of us leaving) must be a separation anxiety stage!
How many days a week does she do? Some kids never waltz in happy, my nephew cried every day for 4 years, but once he was in he had a good time. My daughters nursery have two rooms, she has spent plenty of time with the older kids and has now moved up, I personally feel like it’s an amazing learning experience for them with the older kids and my daughter loves it so much. What makes you uncomfortable about the older kids? I would just say, make sure before you take her out that you know you can either get a space somewhere else, or that you have a full and open chat with the nursery because they might be able to put your mind at rest. They’ll welcome you with open arms for an honest chat if they are a good nursery x
In my daughters nursery they do t have set classes and mix with older children , I think this has helped her social skills and speech to develop much quicker as she’s learning from them and interacting with them
My boy has been going to the nursery since 9 months. All was well, and then he suddenly started whining on drop-offs at 2 y. (some kiddos fight it all the time) Also, toddlers go through massive learning curves and can look like they become more reserved. But it's difficult to say which is which. If you can afford to stay with her at home, I see no problem with that. Or change providers is you are unhappy with it. However, she will see older kiddos once she goes to preschool. I believe they wouldn’t just plop a kiddos in a preschool class willy nilly. Ultimately, raise your concerns to the nursery and see if their is any change to her behaviour.
