DD (who was 3 at the end of August) started nursery last week at the local Primary. She's the youngest in her year - quite bright and confident but very attached to me as DP often works away from home for weeks at a time and we have no local family members. Anyway, first three days at nursery were fine but thursday and friday began in floods of tears and she had to be peeled off me in hysterics both mornings but seemed quite chipper at pick up. Over the weekend she mentioned not wanting to go to school a few times but it was glossed over my me. This morning she said that some children had told her she couldn't read (one of the things she likes to do is sit for ages and 'read' aloud to her toys and to herself) and she'd been upset at school. I told her to tell them she was just pretending and not to worry about it. sorry I keep rambling Upshot is she started crying on the walk to school, continued crying when I took her in, I stayed for a while, she clung to me and was silently weeping 
on my shoulder until I said I was going when she became very upset again. The nursery manager said I could take her back with me so I have but now I feel like I've completely buggered it all up and she will expect me to be able to bring her back whenever she is upset which is obviously going to happen tomorrow and the next day etc.
Someone please tell me they've done something similarly stupid? I know that this is not the way to deal with tears at school i just felt so bad for my little baby!
