DD is 13 months and has been in nursery two days a week for the past fortnight. We had six settling sessions prior to this. She's had a couple of good(ish) days but this week has been miserable. Nursery phoned to say she has been crying on and off since drop off (about three hours) and wouldn't engage in any of the play offered. She's needing to be held constantly which obviously isn't sustainable in this kind of setting. Nursery agreed to monitor for next hour and during this time she settled and was very happy apparently. I know it hasn't been long but I just can't shake the feeling that she isn't going to settle properly. I've also noticed since she started she is super clingy when we go to our groups. She used to love them and would be off exploring with the odd return to me but now she sticks like glue clearly thinking I'm going to leave. It's breaking my heart to see my happy, confident wee girl change like this. Can anyone offer any reassurance or share their experience? Is there anything we can do to help? I don't want to think about changing providers just yet.
