My ds has been very happy at his previous nursery and did a full day (8.30 - 5.30). He is 3 and not 4 until November so all his chums who were 4 in August went off to their Reception schools. To avoid him being left with the up and coming 2 year olds and being by far the oldest, we moved him to the nursery attached to his primary school. He now cries every morning when he's dropped off, won't eat his lunch and, after the first session at the after school club, is distraught at the thought of going into what he calls "the big, grey cave" which is in fact the school hall where all the kids congregate (he is one of the youngest). I have had to change my work hours temporarily to be able to pick him up by 4.00 so he doesn't go to the after school club. Some days he has cried on and off throughout and some he hasn't. We had just had a 2 week holiday before he started and then I had to go away for 5 days leaving him with dh. Is it the disruption? I am so upset for him and currently looking for a childminder so he doesn't have to do the after school club. Is this the right approach? Has this happened to anyone else?
