Change nursery over naps?

[MrsCremuel]

DS 2.5 goes to nursery twice a week. I’m on mat leave with newborn and we’ve kept him there. He is an early riser, between 5 and 6 whatever we do so he goes to sleep between 7.30 and 8 and has a 2hr nap from 11-1. His nursery have a policy of only putting them to sleep where they shown signs of tiredness. Which tends to be for him when he’s there around 12 and one. At home I actively managed naptime and put him down to sleep. They then let him sleep till three or four which completely ruins our evening and mucks up sleep for the next few days. On these days he doesn’t go to bed till between 9 and 10 and still wakes up 5/6.

Do I switch to half days, suck it up or find a new nursery? I’ve spoken to them they won’t change their methods.

I think I'm querying it more becouse the schedule you have is very little sleep for his age. A child won't sleep for 4 hours if they are not tiered. Typically sleep for this age is 12 to 13 hours your schedule gives about 11. As he learns and does more he needs sleep to process what he's learned once their brain is more developed sleep requirements reduce.
