Dear Mumsnetters,
I have a question for you all I hope somebody can help.
DS is going to be 2 at the end of this month. He has been going to nursery for nearly 1 year now. Initially he went to a nursery in London, a fantastic caring and nurturing environment that he loved. We then moved outside London a few months ago. We were both working and and on a tight schedule and after going to see a few nurseries we chose one that at the time the new place looked a great improvement: great outdoor space, better food and enthusiastic if young staff. This feeling however was short lived and after about one month the 2 key workers left in his room there seems to be a lack of engagement amongst the staff that is left there. What's more is that my LO is not going there happily after 2 1/2 months still cries every morning and when he goes there he comes home in a really cranky state, having continuos meltdowns. This doesn't happen when he is at home with me. I have been looking at alternative nurseries in the area and I think I found a special place, not as convenient location but lovely experienced staff and really well planned activities. I however worry about moving him again, is it going to upset him even more ? He is due to change room in about 2 weeks and that is hopefully going to help as there are quite a few babies a bit younger where he currently is...I guess I just worry about how all these changes are going to affect him ...plus the possible new nursery doesn't have a place until october...
Does anyone have experience of changing 3 nurseries in a year?
Can somebody help me think this through ?
Many thanks in advance
