Hi! My darling girl starts a new nursery in 3 weeks. She'll be in the preschool room and they don't offer naps in that room, in general. How do I get her through the day without an afternoon sleep? She sleeps 12:30 - 2ish at nursery at the moment. I'll pick her up from nursery at 6pm and I'm sure she'll be a mess by then, or fall asleep on the commute home. Thanks for any hints or tips!

I’m room manager of a preschool room, and we take our children to a younger room so they can have a good nap or they snuggle themselves up on the story mat! Have you spoke to the preschool about any alternative option? X

I don’t have much advice however we recently relocated and my little one moved from a nursery to pre school and so far I am regretting it he is shattered but also lots of other things have changed we don’t think he is ready so will be looking for a nursery as none of the other children sleep there and he still really needs a nap he just can’t manage without it. I hope your experience is different but so really recommend seeing if there’s a quiet place they can sleep or if any other children sleep otherwise it may be quite a transition for her

thanks so much! I am really worried about the move and all the changes, she's been at her previous nursery from 4 months so it's all she's ever known! I really hope she settles 🥺

I really hope that’s the case I wasn’t trying to put a negative spin on it just maybe better finding out all the facts before she starts x

the room lead did say that if they had the staff and were comfortably in ratio, someone might be able to take her to the toddler room for her nap and then pick her back up again. But they could only do that if numbers were low and I'd like something that's consistent if possible!
