My little girl is 16 months old and has been attending a local nursery since Jan.
Pretty much every week i get a call saying shes unsettled and crying and can i come get her.
I have had 6 months of this constantly and feel like shes the only one having a meltdown. She goes 3 days a week full days whilst i work.
Do i persevere and push through in the hope she eventually settles in their eyes or do i look to change?
Its mentally and physically exhausting and affecting me where i basically dont eat all day and i am on edge every-time my phone pings. 😭

They shouldnt do that. What nursery is calling you every week because they can’t look after your child.
It’s normal for her to be like this. Especially 3 days away. It’s a big adjustment but then calling you is not right. I work at a nursery myself and we don’t do this.
Only for the first couple week 1-2 week, we inform parents how they are doing, but we never call to make you pick them up. What’s the point of you paying money when they basically doing nothing

Is there something you can give your child that will comfort them throughout the day? Like something that smells like you or some breastmilk for a cup or something to help them settle? It might also just be the wrong nursery setting for them. Are they a bit upset or inconsolable the whole time they are there? Is there a way you could swap to half days to allow her to settle in a bit more?
