Hi
I'm looking for adopters views on childcare for young children who are adopted .... all views welcome.
We adopted a baby aged 11 months last year , I have taken a full year off work and had a great time attending mothers and toddlers , music groups, swimming etc and had fantastic fun with a little girl who has been a joy to look after but its soon time to return to work ( 3 days). I also have an 8 year old and we often have children round. My young daughter, now aged 2 appears bright , sociable and very loving with an independent streak and loves being with others.
My dilemma is this ..........
My eldest daughter went to a childminder, loved it, the relationship is still there all these years later and she has become a close friend, unfortunately she isn't childminding anymore. It was childminder all the way for me, home environment , small group , individual (almost) attention. But with my adopted daughter I'm not so sure.
Because she has been in foster care from 10 days until coming to us at 11 months I don't want to confuse her, will it feel like moving on again because its in a home and not a nursery which feels different.
She has done one morning at nursery ( 2 hours) and appeared to enjoy it , she was happy on the visits and the nursery is the best that i have seen ........ nothing to not like.
Has anyone else had these thoughts and what did they do ?
