Positive nursery stories..

my nursery is incredible! my daughter absolutely loves it and her confidence, communication, skills have blossomed since being there. the staff are amazing at answering any questions, and they keep the app updated very promptly throughout the day which is great as i love to keep checking to see what she’s eaten / slept etc. obviously it will all depend on the setting, but to give you a positive perspective, it’s definitely been amazing for my daughter and i ! it is very normal for them to take a little while to settle in food wise and eat more, and naps of course are interrupted at first as it’s new people trying to put them down so they have to build that bond but honestly it didn’t take long for my daughter at all! she was about 8/9 months when she started, i can’t remember exactly, and within a week or two she’d settled completely sleeping and eating well - she loves it and has only cried maybe five times going in in the months she’s been going. it’s a god send for us xxx

I’ve never had any issues with my daughters nursery, the woman are incredible and I totally underestimated how invested and how much they’d care for my child. Of course they are professionals but they form such a bond it gives me peace knowing she’s in such caring hands. I felt exactly like you did before she started nursery and I was in bits about it. I just kept focusing on all the sad things I.e drop offs etc… that i totally forgot all the good things. She does the coolest activities and eats better at nursery than she does at home 😳😂 her communication and social skills are amazing. Sure she’d rather be at home with mummy sometimes but that is also normal and I know she has loads of fun.

My youngest started at 10 months. Never cried at drop off and settled really quickly. Staff are lovely. She really enjoys it. I get frequent pictures and updates. One thing I will say as she dropped to 1 nap fairly quickly after starting, as naturally started following their routine. Not a big issue and it’s been fine, but it’s def a lot earlier than normal for them to stop a nap.

My little boy started nursery a month ago and he's thriving. We occasionally get a few tears at drop off, but they reassure me they can settle him within a couple of mins. He seems to be learning so much, he's eating and drinking everything in sight, and everytime we pick him up or they send pictures in the app he's smiling and laughing. He's loving it.

Took a few weeks and now he absolutely loves it. His language and interaction with others has come on massively, he eats amazingly (there, home is another story haha) and they genuinely fixed his bad sleep for us x
