Reassurance and tips, please? Going away for a week and toddler DD going into nursery

[SarahAndQuack]

DD has been doing half-days in nursery for most of the last year, four days a week, and she absolutely loves it. The rest of the time she's home with me. I've just got a new full-time job and, unfortunately, it means that I have to go overseas for the first few days. My partner is dropping down to a four day week and will have DD at home one day, but the other four days she'll be in nursery full time. I can't change it, but I am wondering if anyone has thoughts about how to make things as easy as possible for her? She's nearly two and half.

Any tips very welcome, or just reassurance you've done similar and it was ok.

I don't know how long it is before you start / before you go abroad, but is it possible to start the full days now, and not at the same time as you aren't going to be there in the evenings / mornings as well ? So nt such a big change for her ?

Thanks so much for replying!

No, it's next week - I can't change it. We were hoping to do some settling-in days at nursery, but it didn't work and it's too late now.
