To be really tearful about the fact it's DD's last day at preschool tomorrow? :(

Just that really. She's been at nursery since she was a little baby but now she's leaving that safe closed environment where everyone adores her, and will be starting school in September.

I feel really sad :( she's not a little baby anymore :(

Nope I was the same yesterday :(

I cried today, DD starte dthere in January 2007.

Ds finishes there tomorrow.

Omg, I'm going to cry tomorrow aren't I? I shouldn't do it infront of her though :(

Dd started in April 2008

Yanbu. My oldest is moving to junior school and i feel tearful about it my third is starting nursery. I still have two at home when they go into nursery ill probably have to take to my bed for a week.

I didn't cry, but I did feel a bit lost and sad. DS had a hard time in his last nursery and has never settled well anywhere, yet hr did here and he already says his new teacher is "nasty"

I don't know whether he realises he's not going back.

And me :(

Am currently debating staying up all night making little biscuits or going to the garden centre tomorrow for a plant for the nursery garden?

Buy a plant, I gave them a plum tree when DD left 2 years ago and her room leader was saying today how she had taken the children round the garden and they were looking forward to eating the plums. I gave them an Amazon voucher this time.

I cried yesterday when DS left his pre-school. It's the most wonderful place and I'm so worried that school won't allow him to be his creative, slightly bonkers-y self.

I'll cry I'm a softie anyway and cried when my eldest left! I was tearing up when writing the cards for the owners and his key workers!

You can cry, but they will love her and accept her equally in reception class too. I know that will make you cry too. I know her leaving reception will make you cry too!!

We've decorated mugs for all the nursery workers who have looked after her throughout nursery and put some chocolates inside.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels like this :(

I cried today. It was really embarassing for me. I never cry.

MissM - that's how I feel. DD is very excitable and thrives on being praised for things. I'm worried she'll be forgotten in a big class of 25-30 children.

YANBU : DD leaves tomorrow (sniff). I'll miss all the lovely playgroup ladies too!

My sister-in-law says she still gets teary thinking of her son's departure from pre-school, and he's now in his 20s!
