Do I HAVE to send dd to nursery now?

[TheSteelFairy2]

She is 3.9, I suppose she will have to start in September.

We go to the park most days and nearly every person I speak to asks if she is in nursery, other mothers, the HV asks if she is nursery, my ds's school ask when she will be coming to nursery, the doctor asked is she in nursery yet?, getting a bit worried that I am being seen as neglectful because I have not started her yet.

She is a sensitive little soul and we love being at home together, we do lots of stuff and go to the odd play group.

Do you think it is odd that she is not in nursery yet?

mornings is a good idea because she will finish by half eleven probably and then you will have the whole day together and can relax!

I think you're doing the right thing and it sounds like she definitely benefits from having a September birthday.

My dd's birthday is 28th August and she was more than ready for Nursery, even though she was only 3 + 6days when she started.

If it doesn't suit your dd, don't do it.
