DS is 3.1yo, and has been going to nursery two days a week for about 6 months.
While he's there he is apparently happy, joins in well with activities, and talks happily about nursery when he's back home. We're confident that he's being well cared for.
But the problem is getting him to nursery in the morning. He sobs inconsolably from the moment he wakes up until I hand him over. I have a struggle getting him into a buggy and he howls as I walk down the street. He can't tell me why - just that he doesn't want to go to nursery.
Staff at nursery say this is not uncommon, and will pass, but does anyone have any words of wisdom? It is so against our parenting principles to force him to do something he doesn't want to do - but he does really seem to like it once he's there.

Why does DS hate going to nursery, but has a great time when there? How can we help?
