DSs are 3 and nearly 1. I'm going back to work part time soon and have hired a nanny to look after them. Ds1 used to go to a childminder for a while when he was 1, but probably doesn't remember that now. So how do i go about preparing him for that fact that someone else is going to be looking after him for a couple of days a week? He's a real mummy's boy (in fact they both are) and quite emotional and has a real temper on him. We don't have any family nearby, so it's been me and dh all the way up to now (although he does go to nursery a couple of mornings a week). Should I start talking to him about it now, or will that just make him feel unnecessarily worried? I'm aware that I'm probably feeling a lot more anxious about it than he will
