Honest opinions please

There’s no need to bring him every day! Especially not to start with, I work in a nursery and we don’t mind at all when a child doesn’t come in just call to let the setting know before hand. Although do keep in mind his settling in process may be longer if his routine isn’t constant, if he knows he can ask to stay home or doesn’t know which days he is going to nursery he may become more unsettled when he’s there or drop offs may become hard especially since he knows you will be at home with his sibling. He will have a key worker in his room who you can chat to about your concerns and once your child has done a few sessions they will be able to give you better advice. For example if he goes into nursery and is happy to be there, you won’t need to worry, although if he is unsettled they may advise bringing him in more frequently to help him overcome this xx

I also work from home and didn’t send my son to nursery until he was 3. Best decision i ever made was to enrol him, he had the best time every day, we were always given photo updates on what he got up to, it expanded his palete (he was previously a very picky eater) and also gave me my hand back so that i could have a better flow work schedule and genuinely not go insane😄 you don’t have to commit to every day, its nursery not school so if you decide not to send him one day, you are able to keep him home without question. But i think you’re making the right decision for him in the long run

I enrolled him in a school based nursery, so does that make a difference? I just don’t want them to think I’m lazy. Initially, I wanted him to go 2 full days, but they said they don’t offer that option because it’s a school based nursery. He has to attend 5 days a week for 3 hours a day, which is part time.

In the nicest possible way, I feel it will actually be a very good thing for your anxiety. It will force you out of your comfort zone and is only for a few hours and give you and him plenty of time to settle into a routine before school.

You may have anxiety but you don’t need to let us define you. I’m always so much better at doing things for others than I am myself so hopefully this will give you the ouch you need to overcome some of your issues and feel stronger for it.

Well done for taking the step for your boy and yourself. 💪🏼 .x.x.x.

We are at a school nursery and we don’t go every day we started with two morning then three so may be worth asking to them
