Sending DD to nursery now?

[OrangeWheel]

I'm really not sure what's best, so and hoping to just get some opinions.

I am currently on maternity leave with a newborn so do not have to send my DD2.2 to nursery as I am home. Given the current rates of Covid, is it terrible to keep sending her when we don't need to?

The reasons to keep her going are:
*She enjoys I and has friends there, it's really her only chance to be with other children at the moment.
*I'm worried about being able to occupy her (and me coping) in the depths of winter, with a young baby to also take care of and everything being in lockdown. E.g. Not even being able to take her to a friend's for the odd play date when the weather is bad, etc.

• She will need to go to nursery when I go back to work later this year. Part of me would like to keep things constant for her - I.e. not take her out and then have to resettle her. It would also cause us huge problems if the nursery went out of business everyone has pulled their children out.

She currently goes 2 full days per week.

YABU - for goodness sake don't send her there's a pandemic going on.
YANBU - on balance I would still send her in the circumstances.

It's Russian roulette. I'm meant to be settling my baby in this week, but have postponed. I'm feeling guilty she still hasn't met any kids her age (just over a year old), but she does have siblings. It's a personal decision but I'm also in an area with a lot of cases. I've had to postpone work due to lockdown so will be home anyway. We will probably be fine if we catch it, but even if we get a mild case, the thought of isolating and not being able to even go for a short walk with 3 young DC is scary. If we get ill, we don't have support for the kids. Each to their own - everyone's personal circumstances are different.
