Nursery

I would put her to nursery, so she can prepare for school and has an easier transition later on. Kids need to learn to be comfortable with being dropped off and picked up, and have this routine and structure by the time they go to school, in my opinion. But in any case, it sounds like you’re doing great in every other aspect!😊

Firstly who is pressing you to send her?? If tell them to jog on personally 🤣 As you most likely know legally they don't have to have any education untill 4-5yrs old, depending on birthday etc.e Sounds like you're got it all in hand, just practice writing her name etc as i hear these days they expect that in reception these days ! Alots changed since my eldest was at school 🤣🤣 I'll have it all to come with my babies ! You do you, who knows I just thought she could even attend 1day a week , just to prepare her for school a little.bit more also a little you time aswell! X

Personally I’d send her to a preschool for a few hours a week. Not a nursery. She sounds like she’s doing well though and you obviously know what you’re doing otherwise she wouldn’t be so well rounded. I’d send her to preschool purely for the social aspect and it gets her used to being away from you for a bit, but that’s personal preference. You do what you thinks best for your child, you know her better than anyone else x

Pressured by who?? Maybe pre school before she starts school as will then be away from you for 5 days! May be a shock. My daughter has been at nursery since about 18 months & will start pre school this September. It's definitely got her ready for being in a school setting. I would only worry about her leaving you now after all that time! We only do 2 days a week. But pre school will be 4 days 9-3 (school hours) so it's not such a shock to her once we wave her goodbye at the reception door lol x

I would say the preschool we send my daughter to has been great for getting her into a routine of being dropped off and picked up everyday and wearing a uniform but I do work full time so she has to go to some kind of childcare. But as far as preparation for school it’s been really great. The other thing is if your daughter’s waking up dry I’d ditch the nappies! Save the expense if she’s potty trained

Personally no, I wanted my son to go nursery because i was struggling to take him to play groups and outside but sounds like your daughter is having a lot of experience with that already so well done! Up to you but if I were you I'd keep her until you're ready

Tell ppl to jog on… dont need to do anything you dont want. U could always join a gym with a registered creche and ur child could practice having time away from you. Or leave them for play dates or with a trusted adult for them to have time without you- but i would say thats more so u can have a bit of time for yourself - if you need it. If u love being with ur kiddo then thats fine i think! We say stuff about kids needing to learn to sit for few hours but most kids will figure it out quickly once they on a routine… if u think youre a mama that needs practice at a morning routine, then maybe yes, a morning preschool might be good!

Our 3yo has been in nursery since 1 so I see the benefits. Sounds like there’s no reason for you to send your girl though! Ignore

Thank you everyone for you advice and experiences! I forgot to add that she also couldn't care less if she's away from me or not, which I'm not sure if I should be offended by 😂 Recently she went to stay with her grandparents for a week whilst I moved house, we live opposite ends of the country and this was the first time she'd ever had an over night somewhere else let alone without me and it was like she didn't even realise I was gone 😅 Both grandparents very surprised at that as well! A few of you asked who's pressuring me and it's a mix of grandparents, her dad, health visitor, family friends. I personally don't feel I need a break from her. I'm fortunate to work from home as well which enables myself and daughter to have such a lifestyle and I feel we should embrace the opportunities we have

Good way to prepare for school, my kids go when they get 15 hrs funding and I didn’t feel they needed to go before then x

Sounds like your doing amazing!!! Very sorry your getting pressure from people, i get alot of comments but I'm set on doing what I feel is right for my family. I won't be sending my youngest until she goes to reception, my oldest didn't go either until she was starting reception and she has settled at school wonderfully.
