Hi<br><br>My 2 and a half yo started nursery at 2. He had been looked after up until this point by either myself or my husband. He's very sociable and for the first few days seemed fairly happy. Thereafter he became very upset and would be sick on arrival. Of course each time he was sick he had to go home. His behaviour also changed from a sociable outgoing chap to a very clingy upset child who was sleeping poorly. After 5 weeks of this behaviour I removed him from nursery and his granny very kindly took over the care role.<br><br>7 months have now passed and I decided to try him with a child minder 2 days a week. He is also due to start playgroup in September and I want to start preparing for this as he had again got very upset when we visited the groups.<br><br>Again on the third visit to the childminder (he has done half days) he was very sick on arrival. He has also been sleeping poorly in terms of being difficult to go to sleep or stay asleep. This had started the week prior to going to the childminder when I'd left him with at his granny's house to again prepare him for being out of the house.<br><br>Has anyone any advice, the childminder is clearly considering whether this is a suitable agreement and I'm concerned he won't be able to cope with playgroup and also I feel granny is getting very tired.
