Hi everyone,
I think I should probably begin with some context to help illustrate my question.
I’m currently near 30 weeks pregnant
My family moved location with our toddler son (28months)
He’s had to change nurseries because of the change of location (old one is too far away.)
My son started nursery at 9months no problems never cried
We went into lockdown at 11 months and he went back to nursery at 14months with minimal transition
We moved house on 18th august from an apartment to house. He slept in his new bedroom easy peasy and loved that he now has stairs.
Then we started settling sessions at his new nursery.
It didn’t go well
First sessions he lasted 15mins was too upset
Second 30mins and was brought out so Nurseey was a positive association
3 and 4th session he lasted the full hour and even had pics of him playing
Then I had to go back to work so since the fourth sessions he’s done from 8am to 3.45pm and he’s done the whole day (he’s done 5 whole days now)
The nursery have said he is up and down and gets a bit sad. His slee has gone a bit haywire (sleeping more at nursery and less at home)
He’s eating great at nursery, but refusing dinner at home - even though we know he’s hungry.
Today the nursery called and said he’s not had a good day and would it be possible to get him (this was at 3pm)
I feel a bit deflated - he’s always been so easy going. He’s very chatty and we know he’s trying hard to be brave when he’s nervous.
Has anyone got any experiences of changing nurseries from one they loved to another and it started at bit hairy but got better?
I don’t know if it’s my hormones but I worry hes not happy and I’ve made a bad decision.
