SAHM wanting to put child at nursery?

Hi, My daughter is nearly 2 and is such a sociable child. Shes an only child with hardly any children around her and her speech is getting fairly good. I feel like she would really benefit from going to nursery even if it's once a week (if that's a thing?) maybe towards the end of the year when her speech is more better so I'm less anxious. I'm also doing this because I barely get respite as I don't have a "village" as they say. I only leave her with her dad to go out for a few hours once in a blue moon. I'm literally clueless about it although. I'm a stay at home mum so would I be able to do that still? How does it work?

Im a sahm and my 2.5 year old goes to nursery to half days a week. Hoping to put her in more half days soon as she loves it. Just find some nurseries you like to look of give them a ring and go for a show around you can ask any questions whilst there

Ours does 4 hours a week, we don't qualify for any funding until she's 3 though so we pay

There was no funding with my others so they didn't go to pre school until they were 3 and qualified for 15hrs a week. My baby is 11 months and she goes 2 afternoons a week now as she has funding, but I only get this because I work

I’m going to be a SAHM mum, and have a nursery place for my little boy for when he’s one for 2 days a week! I think it’s important for their social and educational development, and also gives you some time to be yourself instead of just mummy! Just my opinion 🤍

You can send your child to nursery of course! It’s been hugely beneficial to my son. He loves it. You probably wouldn’t be eligible for any funding though as it’s for working parents. You should go and visit some and get an idea of what they are like and what type of setting you would like her to go to
