To move DD to a new pre-school

[Pinacollider]

DD has been at the same nursery for 2 years. She is now 2.5yrs. The nursery seemed good when I visited however I'm beginning increasingly frustrated. I do not recieve any information on her day any more. Basically drop her off and get a quick 5 mins with key worker at the end of the day. She does 2 days per week. DD is progressing well socially and educationally imo. However I think a new nursery would be better for her. Her current nursery is pretty small and they have limited space. Also a big bug bear is the nursery allow them to watch TV at the end of the day.

I've found a new nursery which has a huge focus on the outdoors. Along the lines of forest school but with a building too. Lots of space etc. A lot more parental involvement including parent & child days where you can go in to the nursery. The new nursery is 100% better.

However I feel awful moving her. She's made friends in the current nursery and talks about the children a lot. She really enjoys going. She can be shy in new situations and I know she will miss her old nursery. AIBU? Am I the worst mother ever (which I feel!). Please tell me she won't be scared for life. For info, she has another 2 years of pre-school before school.

Firstly the new nursery sound lovely so I am sure she will be fine if you decide to move her.

In my experience Pre school generally don't give you as much info on the child's day so if she has recently moved into the pre school room that may explain the change in the detail they give you. Could you ask for a more detailed report and see how they respond?

Secondly for me the TV thing isn't a big deal provided they do other things throughout the day. If she was at home isn't it likely she would have some downtime with the TV on at some point?

My gut feeling is that if she is happy maybe best to leave her BUT there is an option to send her part time to both and judge in a few weeks time where she is happiest?

I remember this dilemma myself very well!
I think for me the important thing to remember was at some point she will be leaving nursery anyway to start school. That in fact there are lots of moves and changes to come in her future and that new situations and experiences, whilst daunting for anyone at first, are part of life and growing up.
You have to trust your instincts. I knew the move was right but worrying how they would cope almost held me back from making the right choice for us. Children are so very adaptable and surprise us all the time! Just make sure you get numbers from current nursery for play dates!
