Hello mums,
Really after some guidance. Took my DS (12 months) to the nursery for the first settle in visit today and it was a disaster.. we went in and the manager was in a hurry so she quickly left us with the staff in the babies room and I was given some forms to fill. DS was on the floor curious and exploring toys and I was chatting with the staff there. After about twenty min, confident that DS was busy playing, I quietly left the room. Everything went downhill after that. She started wailing and wouldn't stop crying.. and the staff were just showing her toys to calm her ( don't know if that's enough tbh). I had to go in and take her and she was really rattled.. I am due for the next visit this week and I have been advised by the manager to just leave DS for 2 hours and that she will cry a bit but settle, am reluctant to do that.. but dunno if it will help her settle faster.. please can you share your experiences and guidance?
