I am currently on maternity leave with my 9 month old. Pre lockdown my 3.5 yo was at nursery 2 days a week because I know it's good for her development, so although I could look after her full time while not working I thought that was best for her.
Like others, our nursery opened last month and they have a place for my daughter but I haven't yet sent her back. Not shielding and no specific health concerns, just anxious and seems an unnecessary exposure when I can look after her at home. We're not really going anywhere expect the odd visit to grandparents in their garden.
My daughter seems perfectly happy for the most part, with the odd 'I'm bored' day, of course. Is it terrible that I'm keeping her away from nursery when she could go back. Is she really missing out?
