What do babies do in a nursery? I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but am looking at putting my little one in to one, and I just want to try and picture how she'll be spending her day. With toddlers it's obvious because they can play and paint and dress up etc, and to be honest I think it seems quite good fun at that age. But what about for a 9month old baby? When I think about what I do with her at home, I talk to her and sing to her, she lies on her playmat or goes in her bouncer for a bit, or sits in her high chair while I do a bit of housework and I tell her what I'm doing. And lot of the time we are out taking walks, or going to a baby class, or meeting a friend for coffee. I feel like this post sounds like I'm being critical of what babies do in nursery and it genuinely isn't (there are days at home where I feel I've been a rubbish mum as I've had to get housework done etc), but I just would be really grateful if someone who works in a nursery, or has babies in a nursery, could give me an idea of how a pre-toddling baby might spend their day? I'm having a hard time thinking about going back to work and leaving her, so I guess I'm hoping that being able to picture more what it would involve would help me! Thank you!
