My first and only DS is nearly one. I'm going back to work part time next week and this morning he's having his settling in day at his new nursery.
The nursery is ok. The staff are lovely, it has lots of space and light, outdoor space, good equipment. The offsted reports are not brilliant but not bad. I can' really say why but I just feel unsure about it. They seem quite flippant about his needs, him being upset when I left, me calling to see how he is getting on. I get that they do this all the time and have to deal with fussy parents all day long, but I'm not fussy or clingy compared to lots of mums I know and I think a bit of communication goes a long way. I just feel uneasy about it really.
We don't have a lot of choice when it comes to nurseries where we live. It's very rural and there are only three nearby. One was like a sad zoo and I was horrified by it. Another was brilliant but their hours and pricing structure just made it untenable. So the one he's going to is really our only option.
Am I being neglectful, sending him to a nursery I'm not 100 per cent sure about?
It's either that or I don't go back to work until he's old enough to start school. I know and I'm not the first and won't be the last but I'm finding it quite hard. I wish I could have more confidence in the place I was leaving him.

To feel unsure about nursery but send him there anyway?
