My little girl will start nursery at 7 months (in September). She currently needs a lot of support to fall asleep (contact (hold in arms/rock to sleep/sometimes feed to sleep) and will cry if not given this support. I am really nervous that she won’t be able to fall asleep at nursery. Is anyone had this experience and everything went well in the end?

My daughter needs so much coaxing to get to sleep at home and won’t nap much at my parents house but to my surprise she has napped at daycare since starting at 12 months old and will sleep for over an hour which I thought was impossible. My friend’s daughter also needs to contact nap at home or she won’t sleep but she will sleep at daycare and I’ve come to get my daughter when they were getting them down for nap time and saw my friend’s daughter being put to sleep and she wasn’t crying or anything. They just rubbed her back and patted her bum until she fell asleep. She may still need some adjusting, but I think daycares can handle it well.
