Nursery settling session parents not allowed?

My youngest (2) is due to start nursery (tomorrow, actually) She will just spend an hour there tomorrow as a ‘settling session.’ But parents aren’t allowed inside. So I will drop her at the door and come back in an hour. I thought it would be better to go in with her, let her get distracted with a toy/activity with a worker then say mummy will be back soon but this isn’t an option.

Just seems slightly bizarre to drop a 2yo to a building they’ve never been to before, with people they’ve not met before (bar very briefly) & leave? I can’t see it going well. She will scream.

But AIBU? Be interested especially to hear from nursery workers!

Thank you!

Sorry that this morning didn't go very well. Personally I'd ask to come in with her for a couple of future sessions, see how she goes, and take it from there.
