My 11-month DD is doing her settling-in sessions at nursery before I start work again. I'm having second thoughts ... and was hoping for advice please!
I work three days a week - DD doing two nursery days, and DH/mum alternating Thursdays (DH's flexible working).
The thing is, with me, mum, DH and three or four carers at nursery, that's seven different carers between us all. I'm worried she might not know whether she's coming or going!
Before I was happy with my choice - it is Ofsted outstanding blah blah, and well reviewed by parents I've spoken too. But wasn't really prepared for reality of the baby room - the more I leave her there, the more I think at her age, perhaps it's better for her to be left with one special person on those two days, ie, a lovely childminder?
I've found a lovely childminder, but she's not available for a month, which means DD will have to do a month of nursery before switching over. I'm worried that letting her settle into nursery, before switching to a childminder would be a bit cruel.
Does anyone have any thoughts/experiences please. It's just she's such a happy thing, I'm worried about messing her up. Is this just PFB syndrome?! Thanks so much.
