Nursery settling in

It isnt long enough. How long it takes depends on many factors How often do they go? 2 days is barely anytime. Especially as those days are 2 and 3 days apart. How often have they been away from you? How independent are they are home? How much do they socialise with other children?
A 9 month old child who goes for 6 weeks 4 days a week, with 2 siblings, whose always at a baby class weekly.. will likely settle quicker than a 2yo child who goes for 6 weeks, 2 half days a week, has mostly had contact naps and cosleeps.. and no real interaction with other kids. They w get there in their own time. My kid settled in about 4 weeks going 3 days a week But starting last month 2 days a week 3 days apart? With bank holidays? Ur asking for a lot for them to be already settled.
Hes a co sleeping contacting napping LO. Im thinking about having him in another day just to familiarise himself. I dont expect it to happen quickly for him but im more wondering if its months and months at what point do i pull the plug (if it gets to that)
Hi we also started in April and I found it got better last week after I started telling him a string of compliments at drop off how I'm so proud of him he is strong and kind ans the others like him etc. To build his confidence! Worked for my partner as well who did drop off the other day (also 2 days per week)
Okay this is good to consider.. months no maybe 6 to 8 weeks.. if u can afford another day 100% do it. But also staff not being able to put him down for 6 to 8 weeks means nothing. They gotta do what they gotta do for him
It took us around 6 weeks
