What's best?

[Cnf1]

I'm a SAHM at the moment. I go to a classes every day with my dd (just turned 2) and have regular visitors to the house. I also play with dd a lot. Having said that, she spends a lot of time in the car/buggy/in front of TV as I just can't play with her all day long.
She's incredibly attached to me and can't bear to be picked up by anyone else.
She loves the toddler classes we go to 7 days a week (runs off with other toddlers but likes to check in regularly) , is great at socialising when children come to the house or she meets them elsewhere. She knows the alphabet, all numbers and colours and her speech is very advanced.
My question is whether she'd be better off in childcare? I know there wouldn't be tv/buggy/car in that environment and I'm wondering if I'm not doing the best for her staying at home with her day in day out...

Pre school at 3 would be advantageous. At home with you until then would be best, assuming you can limit screen time to recommended low levels. Buggy / car - can’t see the problem assuming you don’t leave her there.
Sounds like she’s doing great with you, dont minimise the benefit of 1:1. You’re clearly doing a good job.

She sounds perfectly fine.
Make sure you do a few boring 'life" things with her like going to the supermarket or queuing in the post office so she learns that not everything is about her and can sometimes be boring.

So long as you are out and about and letting her see the world she will be learning plenty at home with you at this stage.

Children start really enjoying nursery from age 3 when they start proper social play and I’d this would be the age to start her at nursery if you don’t need childcare.

That said, a few short days at nursery would be fine but two year olds do typically take a little longer to settle in than babies or three year olds so you may have to be patient and give it a few weeks if she isn’t sure at first.

I don't think I am out and about enough because she won't stay in a buggy for long and 15 mins is our max in the car (vomiting). She won't hold my hand when we're out so going to a shop is a nightmare, nevermind a carpark. Most of the day is spent at home and she needs so much stimulation that I find I have no choice but to put the tv on. I try to engage her in the tasks I'm doing but she bores easily. She turned two a few days ago but she can tell me she's lonely and wants a hug or that she wants to watch Miss Rachel etc. I feel like I'm holding her back, keeping her at home but then again, I know she hates to be away from me. Really not sure what's best for her.

If she wants to walk and not be in the buggy get a pair of reigns or one of those wrist leads.
She'll be attached to you so can't run off but doesn't need to hold your hand.
When my daughter was 2 she got given a tiny toy shopping basket and she absolutely loved taking it with us to the supermarket and putting a few items we were buying in it.
I remember her stretching up to place it carefully on the basket space at the till and we got a few "awwwws" from staff and other customers.
Instead of going in the car could you use a bus? This can be very exciting for 2 year olds.

If she won’t hold your hand you put her in reigns.

Take her to a park, woodland etc and let her run around and explore to burn off energy.

It’s good to get her used to being with other adults than just yourself. How is she with your partner? Do you make an effort to let them have quality time together and you leave the house?

I'm a sahm and I put my now 3 year old in a childminders 3 days a week when he turned 2 and he absolutely loves it. He gets to do far more interesting things there with other children and I also get a bit of a break to catch up on all the stuff I can't do when he's with me. I didn't go for a nursery because I felt like it was too many children to adults ratio which is why I chose the childminder and I'm glad I did because they've got such a lovely bond. If she's as advanced as you say then she'd probably thrive in a good setting

Reigns haven't worked at all. The minute they're on, she's screaming to have them off; full tantrum 'til they're gone.
She loves dh but still wants me mostly. She really enjoys interacting with other adults but will follow me everywhere when they're in her company as though she's afraid they'll kidnap her!

If she doesn't hold your hand out and about then put Reigns on her, I had Reigns on my ds until he was 3 because he thought it was funny to run away, I'd let him off in fields/parks

I think nurseries are great, my son went to one when he was 2 and he got to do so much stuff that he wouldn't have done at home and it really set him up for when he started primary school a few weeks ago. DS was super attached to me and wouldn't leave my side until he started nursery and made friends, then he would run off into nursery and forget about me until I picked him up!

If she doesn't wear the reins then she doesn't go out. Sometimes you have to be a bit firm with little ones. Both mine used to go to a childminder a couple of days a week.... just so I could get some peace!!! She still remembers them and they are now 20 and 17 year old lol

This is what I'm thinking. I am lucky enough to be in a situation where I can stay at home with her but I worry I'm not doing enough to make her days interesting. We draw, colour, build, bake, read books, collect leaves, play with magnets, balls, lego, dolls, her kitchen. We do papier maché, jigsaws, sand and water play and she'll also instigate dance parties by asking Alexa to play certain songs but we're still left with a lot of free time that inevitably leads to the tv (especially when she's saying, 'peppa pig, mummy, please, on the TV, please, please')

She sounds like a really bright little toddler 😊 she'd definitely thrive in a childminder/nursery setting I'd think. She sounds like she needs alot of input and that must be so exhausting I know from experience 😅 just try it out and if she doesn't enjoy it you can always just take her out. I'd imagine the break for you would be welcome at this point 😂 playing with a toddler all day long is exhausting 😬

She does everything with me but she's a nightmare! Think pulling everything off every shelf and doing a runner at every opportunity 😐

Yeah, I think she needs more than just me, mentally. Emotionally, I'm not sure what to do. If we go away for even one night with her ie she's not in her own bed but still with me, she's so thrown, that she won't let me so much as walk into the kitchen without coming with me.
