Sending baby to nursery on his first birthday?

See if you can bring cupcakes,cookies etc from a store sealed and that usually works here. They can sing happy birthday as a class or clap. I know hes one but my baby turns 1 on Friday next week and I do a small morning birthday song with my other kids for the birthday kid and a lil pastry. My husband works a lot but I facetime him and he says Happy Birthday so it seems to be fun for them and makes me feel good I did something until the weekend. (If the birthday falls during the week)
I had the same dilemma and sent my little girl to nursery. She had SO much more fun than she would have had at home with me. The nursery staff were great and spoiled her all day. They sang happy birthday when we arrived, sent loads of photos of her in the ball pit and having cake, and they even made a card for her 😊
I kept my baby girl home but completely up to you x
I never have with my first as his birthday has not yet fallen on a nursery day, my May babies birthday isn’t on a nursery day either but if it was I’d probably still send them in as i have to pay for it anyway.
Tricky one! On one hand, it seems pointless to keep him off, especially if he's enjoying nursery and his dad won't be there anyway. On the other, he's only 1 once 😂 this probably doesn't help at all but I think either option you choose is absolutely fine, if you send him in I'm sure he'll have a lovely day in nursery and you can do something special afterwards, but if you keep him off I'm sure no one would judge you!
