Nursery

I do find this approach interesting and I’ve heard a few people say their nurseries have done it too. Mine started 2/3 weeks ago, goes twice a week. We had one hour settling in session with me there, another one hour session when we left him, then straight into the full nursery days on his own. Which sounds brutal to me but he’s getting there. It is taking time to settle but they never ring me to ask for me to pick him up. I do agree with what you’re saying re if he screams you get him. Could you suggest leaving him for an hour and you’ll pick him up after? And do that for a bit and see how he gets on?

3 months 🫠 she loves it now 🤣

Took my little boy a few months but he was only going on a Wednesday morning so probably not often enough to settle quickly. He was very bad at being left and that’s probably putting it politely 😳 I was called back a couple of times to collect him as they just couldn’t settle him then from then on we worked together to get him settled there. I stayed with him for a few sessions then we’d do where I left for only 10 mins and came back and stayed for a little bit with him then took him home then just built on that 10 minutes and we eventually got there. It was really hard going and lots of tears from him and me but he got there eventually and he absolutely loves it now! He’s really thrived since being there too, he’s a very sensitive soul and had rarely left me at all so it was just all about building that bond with his teachers and knowing that he was safe and that I came back.
