Will these arrangements be detrimental to DD?

[CovidFreeZone]

I had my first / only baby this year and due to Covid she hasn't socialised with any people or ever been to a nursery, or been looked after by anyone other than DH or me. No other family around. I've extended my maternity leave entitlement as I normally work in a setting that would be high risk for Covid, and I had the option to do so. So I won't be needed back at work until August when I will go part time (5 x half days per week for now). I know I'm really lucky to have these options at all.

Baby was born in July so on this reckoning it looks like her first experience of being cared for by anyone else will be in August when she will be 13 months and I will put her in a nursery for those sessions.

Do you think this will be to her detriment?

How would it be to her detriment?!

Until my first was nearly 4, we lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere and DD saw only me and DH when he was home for the vast majority of the time. She's a bright 13yr old with plenty of friends.

Plenty of dc never go to a nursery.

Sounds fine to me. Kids are remarkably adaptable, and the staff will be used to helping kids settle in.

You are overthinking Op, 13m is still really young and she won't be particularly aware of much, outside of whats she's doing right that very minute. She certainly won't remember.
She might be a bit hard work to settle into nursery or she might take to it like a duck to water, there's no way of knowing as both are typical of babies that age regardless of their lives up to then so you can't really apply any logic, whatever her reaction might be.
