Looking from a bit of advise from others working in childcare.
I look after three children, the middle child goes to preschool two days a week, and has been doing so for the past year, she has always loved it and we have never had any problems with her going. Her sister used to go to but went to school in september. We thought this may start a phase of being upset as she didnt have big sister with her but no she was fine. Then starting last week she has been getting upset when going ( the weekend before this she was poorly ). They sent her home last week as they said she must be ill again and wasnt herself, but the moment she was out of playschool she was back to he usual happy self. And then today again we had tears when going in, her mum said apparently last night she got upset again and said she didnt want to go. She was also clingy with me last week when we went to our usual groups and pretty much stayed by my side which is unusual, especially since we have been going for 2 years with no issues. Now i know that this is more than likely just a phase that shes going through, we have half term next week, so when she goes back we will probably have the same situation for a little while. My question really i suppose is do you agree this is just a phase? And if so how can i best reassure mum that this is the problem and not something worse, because i know if it carries on she will possibly take her out of preschool, which i dong believe is the best thing for her as she will start school next year and then will have to go everyday.
Thanks
