Settling in sessions

My LB started his this week and so far he’s loving it. To the point he reaches over to them to go in. It’s really put my mind at rest.

My son went into nursery from 6 months old. He absolutely loves it the smile of his face when I drop him off and pick him up is very reassuring on the decision I made. I was made to feel guilty but I had no choice but to go to work. He hits his milestones so quickly and I definitely think nursery help with that. They update his day on an app which is lovely for me as a parent. Overall I had a very positive experience it was just people telling me how I shouldn’t do it that was negative but we all have our own circumstances so do whatever is best for you and ur little girl 🤍

Same as Jemma and Antonia. We’ve been settling since Feb as I had to go back so much earlier with my second. It’s been much easier as his separation anxiety is so much lower than when my daughter went at 12m. Still heartbreaking for us tho!

My first had 3 weeks of settle sessions and did great - BUT when it came to his first official day he was NOT happy. Drop off was awful for a couple weeks whilst he adjusted, and I really questioned whether I was making the right decision - but it settled down and he started to really love nursery and had got so much from it. I’m pleased I pushed through but I just thought I’d better warn you! The older they are, the harder it gets though. So you may find that your little one settles easier! My sisters little boy started nursery at 7 months and I think he just accepted it!

We have just had 3 lots of settling in sessions this week. 1h - with him one day. 30m with and 30m without me. 1h on his own. Due to start next week. The nursery said he was fine. I do feel bad that i wasn’t upset to leave him 🫤

As with Antonia my baby girl started at 6 months and loves it. It’s nerve wracking leaving them at first, that’s normal! But once you’ve done it once it gets easier.
