My son hates nursery!

Hey! I'm disabled with 2 kids. One is 10 and she loves school! But my youngest is 3 almost 4, because sometimes I'm not able to walk I can't get him down to nursery! So my son stays at home and he loves just playing and doing things around the house, today I got him into nursery and he cried his heart out! Is there a way I can help him know he's safe and know I'm safe he told me he worrys about me on my own lol! He's only a little boy so he shouldn't be worrying like this or be this upset to play x

The key is routine- I appreciate you may not always be able to take your little boy yourself, but do you have anyone who can help out when you’re not able to? Going irregularly can be unsettling for children, and it hinders their ability to settle.
Also, could he possibly take a photo of you in, or an item of yours for comfort? I’d speak to his key-worker too and see how long he generally takes to settle once you’ve gone, and discuss what’s best to distract him. Good luck!

I agree- he really needs a routine and to be going regularly- not odd days here and there. It will be really unsettling not knowing what he is doing and when.
Is there a sure start family worker who could give you info on what support is available for you and ds?

Have you spoken to the nursery? They may have a solution to help you get him there and home. For example, our nursery will pick up children from the village if parents can’t drive.
