Nursery

I know this sounds strange but try not to make loads of fuss when dropping him off. I’ve seen a couple of parents when I’ve been dropping off that make loads of fuss and demanding cuddles and kisses when saying goodbye and then the kids get upset. 😊x

All i will say is strap in. At 39 weeks pregnant your emotions are going to be everywhere! It’s a big first step for us & them but i agree, no fuss, don’t let them see you look anxious/worried/upset. It’s such a fun place for them to be & tell him ‘you’re going to nursery today, you will have lunch there too then mummy will pick you up later’ etc so he knows kind of when you will be back. Also I know this works for some but personally i NEVER leave without him seeing me go or saying goodbye to me first, i just feel it’s better he knows i’m going and not just running off x

@Nic thank you oh I know my biggest stress this whole pregnancy has been making it past his birthday and then getting him to his nursery start date. I’ll need to hold it together 😆

I can’t even imagine how much your emotions are all over the place. One thing i will say is, it has been so bittersweet watching him grow & learn outside of the home but it’s also been so beneficial for him! Good luck mama 🥰

When I dropped my son off at nursery for the first time, I thought he would cry, and then I’d be stuck having to comfort him, but he didn't even bother. He went straight in. I was the emotional one, but he wasn't having it the next day. He didn't want to stay. When I said bye to him, the staff had to comfort him and distract him with toys while I left. He loves to be at his nursery because he has his friends, but sometimes, my son doesn't want to stay unless he sees one of them.
