DS is 2 and 4 months. He went to a child minders when he was 1 for 3 days a week. It took him AGES to settle. When he was 2, I went on maternity leave so decreased his hours with CM but kept up 2 mornings a week for consistency.
He turns 3 in September so will go to pre school, just as I return to work in September. I know it will take him ages to settle and I have a feeling he will be miserable. When we go to toddler group, he won't leave my side. He won't go and play with anything if another child is already playing with it.
He isn't great at sharing his toys when another child comes to play. His language isn't great to be honest and he doesn't say on awful lot (I'm not worried about it, he just isn't as advanced as others his age.
So, my question is... do I put him in nursery now (the one he will go to in September) or do I leave him with a CM until September. He likes it there but there is only 1 other child. Do I need to be cruel to be kind and throw him in at the deep end or do I leave him in his comfort zone until September. I really don't think he'll like it at nirsery
