My daughter has recently started to cry and scream every time I drop her off at nursery, since the last 2 weeks or so. She has mostly enjoyed it before - she's been there for more than 1 year. Today I had to bring her home as she was so panicked at wouldnt let go off me and just said: go home, go home repeatedly. Whilst I was there this morning an older kid came over and started hitting her in the face, non of the staff noticed or did anything about it even after I made them aware of it. I just wanted to leave and she finally calmed down after we left. It's clear she doesn't feel happy there, and that's why we are taking her to a new nursery.
I've tried to talk to the staff, but they just keep telling me she calms down after we have left.
We have a place in new nursery in 6 weeks, and I don't know what to do in the meantime as I can't take time off work for 6 weeks. I can't leave her there tomorrow if she's like that again. Should I find a childminder inbetween? Is that too confusing for her?
