Hi everyone, I'd really appreciate some advice on this.
My 3yr old daughter started nursery a few weeks ago. She's not coping with the morning drop offs - once shes in shes happy and leaves happy.
But every morning its a real struggle to drop her off without her vomiting everywhere - she says mummy I dont want to go and gets herself in a crying fit which leads to her vomiting everywhere. When I drop her, I have 5yr daughter with me and 20 month old and with their school bags/lunches etc - my hands are full!

The nursery have said that I need to clean her up after she vomits (not a problem at all, happy to do so and make sure shes ok obviously before going). My problem is though if she sees the trend of her vomiting and mummy rushing back to clean her up etc she will obviously continue to vomit. This has been happening since the start of sept.
I've tried speaking to the staff about another way of making her transition easier - but they've said it's her personality and she'll get over it eventually.
Obviously it's very upsetting for me to see this happen every morning - I don't see it getting any better with me returning all the time to clean her up, it's just prolonging the drop off/anxiety for my daughter.

I dont know my stuff otherwise I'd like to challenge the staff at the nursery to do more - their priority is to make sure that I clean her up before I leave because quite honestly they look grossed out by the vomit and they're not really helping me with finding a solution.

Any help I'd really appreciate Sad

Hi everyone thank you so much for your advice. My daughter had a really good day today so lifted my spirits a bit. I guess it will take some time before she settles. And then it'll be half term and it will start all over again when she goes back Shock
