Ladies, I am having a massive meltdown here😂 my 15 month old has been going to nursery since January. She does 2 days a week, starting with half days and now doing full days and has been since around March (08:30am - 5pm).
I’ve just got off the phone with the nursery and they have suggested putting her back to half days as she is having more bad days than good.
I have had a massive meltdown, feeling like I am failing her and missing something. She is such a smiley, happy girl when she’s at home and with her grandparents the other 3 days in the week.
I really felt like we were making progress and are now taking a step back (I am probably being over Emotional here).
I do work full time but I am in a very fortunate positions where she doesn’t NEED to go to nursery but we always wanted her to go for social skills etc.
Has anyone experienced this and have any advice?

My oldest kids are 15&12 now and hated every day of nursery. Had I been fortunate enough to not have to send them I wouldn’t have.
It’s long bus days with lots of stimulation and noise.
Maybe a couple of full days instead of half days purely for the convenience of whoever would have to drop off and pick up could be an optionx

Could you perhaps try sending her until say 2pm instead of just the mornings only with the aim to build up slowly over the weeks?

What have the nursery actually given as reasons why to put her back down to half days? Have they given a timeline? An action plan that they’re going to implement?
Sorry it sounds like a complete fob off to me.
