Hi
My 10 month old DD started nursery a month ago, she goes 2 days a week whilst I'm at work. Initially I thought it was great and although she was very tired when she got home she seemed happy and I thought over time that she'd start to sleep better there and become less tired.
But yesterday when I picked her up she looked beyond exhausted, she was tearful and whimpered and clung to me as soon as I picked her up. She also burst into tears when I went into the cot room to collect her things and wouldnt stop until we left. I spoke to her 'key worker' who I don't think my DD is very fond of, neither am I if I'm honest and even though I'd asked them to put her down for her morning nap early because she was up at 5am they'd ignored that and had taken them out in the buggies so she'd only slept 30mins all morning. I don't think they stick to her routine at all and just ignore what I ask. She was also starving when we got home, I've never seen her eat that fast and she cried when each time her food was finished.
Am I being over sensitive or do I have too high expectations? Does she need more time settling in? Or should I change nurseries? I was just so worried about her last night, she was beside her self with exhaustion and even though she was fast asleep in my arms she wouldnt let me put her down in her cot she screamed blue murder which isnt like her. Sorry for the long post, I'm just worried shes unhappy there all day and it takes her so long to catch up on the lost sleep.
