Jitters about nursery

My son started nursery in January, signed him up for 3x a week. Your daughter may have a stronger immune system by now but my son picked up all the bugs he could (I suppose) from nursery. So for January, he only went it once and got sick for the rest of the month. February, the same thing happened. It’s only March that he managed to get almost all days attended. He missed some because of follow up appointments with doctors. So that’s one of the things you need to expect, they do get sick. Its worse during winter time but most of the kids in my son’s nursery still has cough and cold. I would advise get your daughter to spend every mornings before whole day sessions. Unfortunately, son’s nursery doesn’t accommodate that so it was hard for the both of us to be separated that long. If it was more regular shorter sessions, both of you would most likely be able to adjust better. Also, your new free time. Idk if you are working or SAHM, but either way, plan your time well when they are—

-in nursery. Lastly, with the separation anxiety, for me, its not gotten better. Every time i send and leave my son there and he cries, I can hear his cries still from outside 😭 the heartache is unbearable. But he enjoys being busy with activities they have for the kids and my son is so social, he enjoys being around other kids. His teddy ‘Zubear’ keeps him company too, its a great source of comfort for him too when he is there and i think helps him adjust. Also, she might cry the first time you pick her up and i suggest you pack tissues if you cant stop yourself from crying too because that cry is loaded with ‘why did you leave me???’ 😭😭😭😭 good luck momma ❤️

It’s a feeling we all experience. I sent my daughter at 1 and I wondered how she would manage without me, being breast fed and co sleeping and she absolutely amazed me. She loves it! She goes to sleep on her own (in a cot) drinks cows milk and just loves being there. She has a great bond with her key person and it’s so good for them in so many ways. Socially, developmentally! You have got this and it’s so normal to have all these feels/emotions. There will be tears I’m sure. But the nursery should keep you updated throughout the day on how she’s doing and settling for a few weeks after starting. Yes they do get lll but that’s helping to build their little immune system. Hopefully the fact she’s starting in spring will be better and not so many illnesses. My daughter started in November so has picked lots up but it’s part and parcel of being a kid and we have to deal with it. You have got this mama. She will be fine  I hope she loves her nursery as much as my little girl loves hers x
