My DS is almost 3. He goes to nursery 3 day a week from about 8.30 - 5. Up to last month it was 8.30 - 3.30 but Nursery changed the hours and costs so now he stays for his dinner. He does love it there, I've seen him playing when he thinks I'm not there, but since the longer day has started he's desperately upset at drop off time. He clings to me and screams 'my Mummy, my Mummy'. He's never done this before. He's always walked into the room without any problems before. He's been at this nursery about 1.5 years now.
I've tried to make sure he's not over-tired or anything like that. At home he's also started giving me lots more cuddles as a way of delaying tactics, if I'm trying to change his nappy or dress him for instance.
The ladies in nursery are trying to help and give him cuddles and try and distract him, but any ideas how I can make this easier on him (and me, I hate seeing him so upset)?
