Nursery

[cherryscola]

Hello,

I feel really anxious.

My sons first proper day at nursery today and drop off was awful.

He has just turned 2 (was 3 months premature) and he was so upset when I left, I kept it short and sweet but it was not nice.

Since then (hour ago), nursery have messaged me quite a few times to say he is still quite unsettled but they will try and get him to nap as I said he was very up and down last night with the warm weather where we are.

They have also messaged me other things like is this normal for him? he's doing xyz - is this normal?

Now I just feel really overwhelmed and like they cannot cope with him and that he isn't going to settle.

Anyone else had this? and is it really not normal (the impression I am being given by all the messages from nursery within only an hour)

Thank you!

Hi, my son is a fair bit older than yours but very clingy generally.

He has settled in well, after the first week. The first week was not great.

He does still cry on drop offs but apparently is fine within 10 minutes of me leaving.

So be prepared that little one will very likely cry when you initially drop him off but most kids are fine afterwards.

If you want, you can ask if you can have updates through the day.

I didn't find it helpful personally as it made me more anxious every time my phone went off but if it would give you peace of mind do ask them if they could keep in touch.
