Nervous for nursery

He will have a key person at nursery, so be sure to ask who that is during registration. Ask them if you can sit with the room leader or key person and have a short conversation as you have some concerns about your child’s transitioning into nursery.
Regarding the food, maybe they can offer them in small part during the first week or two as that is considered settling in week.
Regarding speech, that could be what they work with him from day 1 as you would like that. So sitting down 1-1 with single object even 10 mins a day will eventually make a difference.
He will also be referred to the local senco if he is SEN so don’t worry, trust the nursery your placing him in and go into it positively. But if things aren’t working out after, then of course continue pulling them for chat and speak to management. Naturally we all worry when taking them to nursery, and he may not make friends on day one but eventually when they settle in and get used to the environment

You child will start playing alongside other children and even start engaging with them. There’s next steps the key person is required to work with him. If speech needs are met and his vocabs start expanding but his not playing with peers. The next step for the staff would be to start getting him to interact with children. For example, sitting in groups of 3 and taking turns!
Don’t worry mama, do some speech research at home too and try and do some bits at home alongside nursery and he will get there! So many children start talking after the age of 2 🩷 wish him all the best! By LO is due to start in couple months and I’m nervous tooooooo! We got this x

My daughter didn’t talk either when she started nursery she was 2.4 she is almost 4 now and she won’t stay quite, nursery helped her a lot even with the potty training.
We had to cancel her school space for this year due her still not talking much. But apart from that all is good and it has improved lots. He will be fine trust me, he will get there and will talk and make friends xx
