So at present I have 1 year old DD in CM for 2 days a week & nursery 1.5 days a week. I have always been really happy with CM. Very observant of DD's likes/dislikes, got her in to a great routine for eating/sleeping there etc. From her description DD seems to be well bonded to her, lots of cuddles, smiles etc. However every day when I drop her off she clings to my neck & cries her eyes out so I have to prise her off me.
meanwhile the nursery I have not been all that happy with. They don't really tell me anything about how DD is. She hardly sleeps at all there, which I can see might be the case in any nursery setting but they don't seem to be at all interested in improving things. However DD has really bonded with one person working there (who used to be her key worker until they changed her key worker without telling me to a trainee). Now when I drop her off to nursery she smiles & reaches out to this person.
I have recently decided to change DD's nursery but leave her with the CM. But since then this behaviour has become more pronounced. Am I handling the CM drop off wrongly or is DD trying to tell me something & I am not listening? Now having doubts about my decision making....
