Am I being really stupid for even asking this question? I will be going back to work when DD is almost a year old & have previously posted about choosing a nursery. Due to a change in circumstances I potentially now have the option of DSis looking after my DD when I return to work, instead of sending her to nursery. I will of course be paying either way (slightly less to DSis) so my question is - are there any advantages to attending nursery over being cared for my family? I'm thinking development wise, socially interacting with peers etc. How important is it that LO's do this before school age, is it important? Or is she Likely to benefit more from being around family (she has cousins of school age so will see them daily). DD will only just be 4 when she starts school (late summer baby).
